New tick based disease that is deadly for dogs.

Thanks Remus, as some 'Tick' treatments are better than others I'll chat to our vet when next seem him. I can tell you what I use but I'm hardly qualified if its borderline on whether it will work or not with this strain.

A ditto on that as we have an appointment next week with the vet for our dog's annual Rabies booster.We always fit her with a Scalibor collar prior to travelling to the Continent -in addition to monthly Eliminall and Milbemax.I will listen to what our very good local vet has to say and let you know what she advises us . 

Another of the benefits of global warming.

Some useful information <HERE> on how to remove 'Ticks' and any myths surrounding them.

Thanks Remus. I'd post a similar report in the General Chat Section, as I thought that more members would see it there.

Don't forget that human beings can also be bitten by ticks, and that they can cause awful long-term health problems.  I'm still waiting the results of tests following some kind of a bite in October last year which resulted in the typical 'target' appearance around the bite.  The bite mark can still be seen, and is intermittently still raised and causing problems.

Hope you get a satisfactory result soon, ValDa, and the docs can sort your problems out.

Thank you Remus for that information .

We use Advantix on our dogs to protect them from ticks, fleas, mozzies and sandflies.  Here in SW France leishmaniasis carried by sandflies can be a problem and we have 3 Spanish rescue dogs that we had to have tested for that plus Babesia, Erlichia and Heart Worm which are prevalent there.  In the UK we have been so fortunate not to have these problems for our dogs in the past.  Global warming???
