Q: What are ticks?
Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that live on
the exterior of an animal. The most common
ticks in Australia are the brown dog tick, the
bush tick and the paralysis tick. Paralysis ticks
present the most risk to your pets.
Q: How do they affect my pet?
When a female tick attaches to the body of
your pet it begins injecting a very potent toxin.
The tick becomes engorged with blood as it
feeds but your pet begins to progressively
experience muscle paralysis. Symptoms of
paralysis include: pet unable to bark/meow,
back legs become wobbly or pet unable to
walk, eventually pet is unable to breathe,
which leads to death.
Q. How do I check my pet for ticks?
To examine your pet, carefully feel all over
the animal, paying particular attention to the
head and neck, inside the ears, between the
toes and under the front legs and around the
anal and genital areas. If you rub your fingers
through the coat it will be easier to find them
rather than solely trying to look for them.
Q: What steps are recommended for tick control?
Prevention is better than cure. Your pet should
avoid the tick habitat if possible. Search your
pet every day for ticks. Use a preventative
treatment such as Advantix (for dogs only) as
directed. If you find a tick on your animal seek
the assistance of Indooroopilly Veterinary
Clinic on 3878 9766.
