Ticks
starting to appear in WNC as they do every spring. Besides being bothersome by attach- ing to us and to our pet’s skin and feeding on blood, they also represent a real and potential- ly life-threatening health risk. Ticks can infect people and pets with several different serious diseases. The most common of these diseases in our region is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). RMSF causes a fever, lethargy, pain and many other possible symptoms. RMSF is potentially fatal but is quite treatable if caught early and is preventable through avoiding tick bites. The best way to protect your dog or cat from ticks and diseases they carry is to decrease their chances of being bit by using products such as Frontline. Be aware that there are many products out there that claim to offer tick protection but are not particularly effective and may not be safe, especially for cats. Ask your veterinarian for advice on the right protection for your pet.
