Most people do not realize that.
All ticks feed on different size animals during their distinct life stages( larvae, nymph and adult).
So when an infected tick feeds on an animal, whatever tick feeds on that animal next, gets any diseases the first tick had, and so on, and so on.
Pretty scarry!
Most pet owners do not realize that a tick can also transmit more then one tick-borne disease. Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis are two serious infections as well.
I hope that your baby is better soon.
You sound like you have all your bases covered.
