Neither spot looks red or infected and one is almost completely gone but could she still get sick and neither bite look infected? I am just wondering because she seems tired again and seems to be getting cold really easy more then normal which to me is strange because shes very fluffy right now and normally doesn't get as cold when she is in need for a groom. Sometimes she seems great and other times she seems sleepy and cold. What do I need to be looking for? Can a tick spread illness if they latch in but then die? I know I worry like a crazy amount but any info would help greatly. We have had years that ticks where crazy bad but she never seemed to ever get icky feeling after them. She also is not very tiny she is 16 pounds. |
