One in 10 pets don't survive tick bites, but new research can now anticipate how dangerous the upcoming season will be.
One in 10 pets don't survive tick bites, but new research is helping owners and vets anticipate how dangerous the upcoming season will be.
Professor Barker says it takes about four days for a paralysis tick to feed fully, by which time they're very large."When these ticks feed, they suck blood — they inject a whole range of compounds to help them feed," Professor Barker said. Ticks can be found anywhere from national parks to a suburban green space, so it's best to stick to paths and keep pets on a leash."It won't be a massive explosion of ticks this year, but still it's going to be average — and average is still a lot of animals," he said.
Professor Barker encouraged vigilance throughout tick season, urging owners to keep an eye out for changes to their pet's tone and colouring."If your dog looks a bit off colour or their voice changes, then that's an indication that they may be being fed on by a tick," he said.
