Parásitos
A parasitic disease transmitted when the dog SWALLOWS an infected tick (not through the bite). It affects the muscles and organs.
The protozoan Hepatozoon, which the dog acquires by swallowing an infected tick during grooming.
Blood tests and, sometimes, a muscle biopsy.
Prolonged antiparasitic treatment. Management is complex and the condition is often controlled rather than fully cured.
Tick control, preventing the dog from eating them, and an effective antiparasitic product.
See your vet if there is fever, stiffness and pain when moving of unclear cause, especially in areas where ticks are common.
