Diseases caused by ticks

Ticks must be taken seriously.

Ticks can transmit diseases that actually threaten your pet's life. FRONTLINE is an important defense against ticks. Lyme disease, probably the best known tick disease, can be treated well with antibiotics if diagnosed. Other tick related diseases are more dangerous. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any of these symptoms:

  • Lyme disease:

    Lameness, fever, loss of appetite, fatigue and enlarged lymph nodes. Infects dogs and people.

  • Babesiosis:

    Fever, loss of appetite and anemia. This is a serious disease that can result in coma and death.

  • Ehrlichiosis:

    Fever, depression, lameness and loss of appetite.

  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever:

    Fever, loss of appetite, coughing, bruising, lameness, depression, vomiting and diarrhea. Infects dogs and people.
