We didn't even give antibiotics for the tick paralysis, just pulled all the
ticks off and gradually, over a few hours, the dog recovered just fine.

Subject: [RC] Tick Paralysis


> This sounds exactly like what happened to my springer spaniel when I first
moved to Florida.  I worked nights and when I got home at midnight she had
absolutely no control of her rear end.  I palpated her and there was no pain
and all her vitals were good.  I called the emergency vet in Tallahassee and
they were baffled.  The next morning I took her to the local vet who said it
was most likely tick paralysis, gave her antibiotics and within a few days
she was fine.  I don't know if you have ticks there, but it sure sounds the
same.
