Tick Fever 280710
I followed Jessie down to Furry Pets today. Since Jessie bought Dexter, she has always been sending him there for grooming every two months.
The 5-year-old West Highland Terrier by the name of Win-Win was no where in sight. She would usually come out to greet us and we would play with her. Instead, we found her crouching under a table.
The shop owners mentioned to us that Win-Win went blind in the right eye due to tick fever. They were extremely sad about it, but still grateful that she survived this highly lethal ordeal. Apparently, some of the dogs which came in for grooming brought along ticks and passed it on to her.
I didn’t know ticks could be so dangerous. Looks like it’s time to start bathing our dogs on a monthly basis with tick shampoo.
