I think Ponki has tick fever!!!! She was fine yesterday morning (even thou she did not eat her breakfast - which is nothing new) and then by the afternoon it was like something sucked the live out of her. I take her to work with me every day, and when 5 rolls around she gets really excited cause she knows friday nights we go for a walk to the local park and she gets to play ball....Not yesterday! She didn't even get up off her bed... and when I finally got her to get up, she took 3 steps and then stopped - too 3 steps - stopped. I had to carry her to my car....
I checked her paws cause I thought maybe she had stepped in something that's hurting her pads... nothing.
When I got home she went straight to bed... she didn't even lift her head. I checked her again and she was like an oven... she was burning hot all over her body!
I found a tick on her about a week ago... and carefully... very carefully removed it with some tweezers! AND I use frontline top spot on her which usually keeps them off!
I just made an appointment with my vet!!! Please keep your fingers crossed that she doesn't have tick fever!!! My last dog had to be euthanized because she got water on her lungs - we didn't catch it soon enough :Cry:
