Tick-borne diseases can manifest in various ways, and symptoms often appear days to weeks after a tick bite. Common signs can include lethargy, fever, joint pain or lameness, swollen lymph nodes, swelling in the joints, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Some diseases, like canine anaplasmosis or ehrlichiosis, can cause bleeding disorders or anemia. If your dog has been exposed to ticks and is showing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek veterinary care for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Prevention through regular tick control is key. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
