Tick Fever in Dogs and Cats is one of the most common and dangerous tick-borne diseases in India. It is caused by parasites such as Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis that enter the bloodstream through tick bites. Once inside the body, they attack blood cells, leading to anemia, organ damage, and in severe cases, even death.
At nextdoorVets, we regularly treat cases of tick fever in dogs and cats. Many pet parents bring in their pets with sudden fever, loss of appetite, or extreme weakness—often unaware that a small tick bite may be the root cause. The good news is that with timely diagnosis and prevention, tick fever in pets can be effectively managed.
