My dogs got tick fever, several years ago. They were treated with tetracycline for 80 days.Here are the symptoms: ( quoted)What are the signs and symptoms of tick diseases? * anorexia (lack of appetite) * weight loss * fever * lethargy (mild to severe) * discharge from the nose or eyes (in puppies, sneezing or clear nasal discharge) * diarrhea (may contain blood or raspberry gel-like component) cough-deep or merely hacking * neurological signs including seizures, repetitive obsessive/compulsive actions such as chewing fur and/or licking legs, un-coordination or palsy * depression * vomiting bile (yellow and possibly frothy) stained fluid * hemorrhaging even when blood count looks normal * lightening of nose color * nosebleeds * blood clotting problems-even with normal CBC (complete blood count) * edema (swelling) of the extremities * muscle wasting * chronic ear and skin infections that do not respond to normal treatments * low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) * ocular signs including bloodshot and glassy eyes, anterior uveitis, retinal hemorrhages, dilated pupils, photophobia * low WBC count (leukopenia) * elevated WBC count (leukocytosis) * regenerative or non-regenerative anemia * arthritis, unexplained lameness in one or all legs * weakness * pallor (pale gums or tongue) * incontinence * enlarged liver, spleen * liver, kidney failure * elevated liver enzymes or kidney function tests * increased thirst and urination * neck or back pain * bleeding under the skin or a rash (purpura) * enlarged lymph nodes * irreversible bone marrow suppression * protein in urine (proteinuria) * prostatic infections and/ or enlarged prostates in young, intact dogs Sometimes the symptoms are few and subtle to see in the later stages of tick disease (sub-clinical or chronic). It is unlikely a dog would have all of the symptoms, as the list is quite long. Here are some of the symptoms of Ehrlichiosis. Babesiosis, RMSF and Lyme disease have many of these symptoms too.http://mirage-samoyeds.com/tick.htm#13.
