It was a dreadfully sad day yesterday. A few days ago we found some fully engorged paralysis ticks on Ronnie our border collie. We treat all our animals routinely with Bravecto a reliable tick/flea treatment but with one thing or another we were a little late with his next dose. Not terribly late, but clearly late enough. The poor fellow must have collected some on a bushwalk and though we pulled them off and rushed him to the vet who gave him antiserum and various other medications it sadly wasn't enough. He has now been laid to rest alongside old Tessa.
Hug your pets a tightly tonight dear readers.
Much love,
Emma
