[Australia] The Paralysis Tick and the Brown Dog Tick are the two most common ticks on dogs. However, it is the Paralysis Tick that is by far the most dangerous. It causes paralysis in a variety of forms but a 'typical' case starts with weakness of the hindquarters that progresses to total paralysis of all four legs. Other typical early signs include an altered bark and vomiting. When the chest muscles and muscles of the throat become affected, the dog is in serious trouble. |
