| Pray for Road Dog A friend of ours dog is very sick, They took him to the vet last week and I guess he was bite by a tick. He cant move and has been just laying for a week, They have him on medication, but hes cant move his body. Tick Paralysis This is a potentially fatal reaction to a paralyzing toxin secreted in the saliva of a female tick late in her feeding. Vectors include Rocky Mountain wood, American dog, and lone star ticks. Signs/Symptoms: Headache, vomiting, general malaise, loss of motor function and reflexes, followed by paralysis that starts in the lower body and spreads to the rest of the body. This can cause respiratory failure and death. Death in young children can occur in one or two days |

| I see only one person posted to this thread. I just wanted to update it. Its been a rough few months for this poor dog and the people who took him in. He is a big dog and for months he could not walk , they had to carry him out side to potty. well the vet wanted to put him to sleep. but the dogs eyes and smile told them he wanted to live. so as the months went on. Road dog got up yesterday and is acting like nothing ever happened to him. Im so happy for him. |

| Yeah me too. He was a poor dog that some one dummped out on the side of a country road. and lived in the ditch there for months homeless. and they would see him every day heading to and from work and decided to let him come home with them. and Im so glad they opened their hearts to him, he would of never made it with out their care, he had to be hand feed because the only thing he could move was his head. Hes a inside pet now and very much loved. |

Those people sound like living angels. It sounds like they are now one big happy loving family. Homeless dogs are always so loving and grateful for whatever love they receive. I almost, at times, feel so guilty for all that Bud has in life. I hope they have many wonderful years ahead. | |
