Re: [RC] Tick disease - Laney Humphrey

Julie, I'm so sorry for your poor sick horse and for you and Bob too! I hope he makes a quick and complete recovery. I've been using "spot-on" or maybe it's "spot-off" as a tick preventative on my horse. Is that the kind of tick preventative medicine you are referring to?

My 26 year old Arabian gelding was not eating yesterday and had a fever of 104 degrees. Lab reports following the veterinarian's visit last night diagnosis ehrlichiosis, a tick borne disease. While he is expected to recover after drug treatment with a tetracycline-type antibiotic. I regret that I did not protect him prior to the tick season with some of the tick preventative medicines on the market. I hope my experience may be a warning for others to take some precautions.
