Usually in winter, when the average daily temperature does not rise above zero, I do not treat my dog for ticks. And today I really regretted it.
Despite the sub-zero temperatures for a long time, Hank found a tick already drunk on blood.
Since the dog feels well, no suspicion of infection has been detected. The tick is removed and destroyed. An unusual phenomenon in the snow, agree.
I want to warn everyone who lives in latitudes close to ours. Don't lose your vigilance about ticks on your pets! Even in frost, in some areas of open ground, they still cling to animals and can bring them harm, and you - problems with the treatment of babesiosis or piroplasmosis.
Health to you and your pets!
