'Tick fever' is the everyday name for blood infections spread by ticks — most often ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Hyderabad's warm, humid months make ticks a year-round concern, especially after the monsoon.
Symptoms to watch for
Fever, low energy, poor appetite, pale gums, weight loss, swollen lymph nodes, and sometimes nosebleeds or unusual bruising. Symptoms can be vague at first, so a blood test is the only way to be sure.
Diagnosis and treatment
We confirm tick fever with blood tests, then start targeted medication alongside supportive care such as fluids and nutrition. Severe cases may need hospital care and close monitoring. Most dogs improve well when treatment starts early.
Prevention
Use a vet-recommended tick preventive consistently, check your dog's ears, paws, neck and armpits after every walk, and keep bedding and surroundings clean. Ask us which preventive suits your dog's age and lifestyle.
