Ticks can transmit diseases. This happens when ticks themselves are infected by pathogens and transmit them by a tick bite on pets. Although an animal can not describe its symptoms, on the basis of autopsies and scientific studies, one must assume that some animals do not suffer less from tick diseases than man. Symptoms such as fever, weakness, loss of appetite, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes and changing lameness can be the result of Lyme disease.
These are the most common tick related diseases in pets
Lyme Desease
Babesiosis
Ehrlichiosis (canine)
Anaplasmosis
Tick-borne encephalitis
Borrelia in the intestine
