Dogs are paralyzed for three days after being bitten by ticks

Dogs are bitten by ticks because ticks emit an anesthetic substance. Generally, dogs bitten by ticks will start to become ill in 3-7 days. . In the early stage, symptoms such as restlessness, mild tremor, unsteady gait, and limb weakness will appear. Do not pull the tick out directly from the bite site, otherwise the head of the tick may remain in the dog's skin.

What should you do if your dog is bitten by a tick?

1. You can use alcohol or turpentine to apply to the head of the tick to make the tick relax or die naturally.
2. Use tweezers to remove the tick after it relaxes or dies.
3. Check the dog’s limbs, neck, back, and any areas that are not bitten by ticks. Check the affected area again. If there is redness, swelling, or broken skin, disinfect it with iodine first, and then use anti-inflammatory drugs.
