Disease transmission through ticks is possible however not all species have this kind of ability. Some ticks are carriers of disease that could also affect both your pet and humans. This is the reason why you should take tick infestation very seriously.
Common diseases from ticks have the following symptoms: lameness, anemia, fever, and swelling of the joints. Some species can cause a form of temporary paralysis which is known as ‘tick paralysis.’ These symptoms will often go away once you have provided your pet with the proper treatment.
Scanning your dog’s body for ticks is a good daily habit to develop especially when you live in a place where tick infestation is common. Learning how to remove the ticks safely from your dog is also important.
