I just discovered a tick (didn't know what it was at the time) on Ella and had it removed by the vet (still alive
) and they suggested a blood test 4-6 weeks later for lyme disease etc. They mentioned it's been a particularly bad season for ticks so I've got her on Revolution.
Haven't noticed any change in her so I'm hoping we're clear..no Lyme disease etc.
Vet mentioned to look out for any diarrhea, vomitting, change in behaviour/eating patterns.
If you're little one is still acting funny in a day or two I'd suggest going to the vet..I'm not sure if there's anything they can do to treat this if they haven't tested for lyme disease but it's always good to get them looked at.
Keep an eye out around their face, neck and armpits..seems to be the hotspots but I'm definitely happy to have her on a flea/tick prevention medication incase there is another bite, at least it'll die and fall off. Yuck
Good luck!
