Just a little reminder to everyone who has a pet...please check them for ticks!! Chloe is almost 12 years old and has never had a tick before...that is until we discovered one on her last night! The tick didn't seem to bother her at all, but it sure wasn't pleasant to find and remove. During the night Chloe got sick and is still not feeling very well. I won't bore you with the gory details. Kyle and I did bring her to the vet this morning for an examination so hopefully she will be fully recovered in the next couple of days. She did come home with two different medications so once they kick in she should be on the road to recovery. According to the vet, her illness isn't related to the tick, but is probably a virus. It sure has been a fun day of washing bedding, sheets, towels, and carpet.
Chloe sure can be high maintenance, but I wouldn't trade her for the world!! She certainly is a very special part of our little family!
How can you not love this adorable little dog???
I forgot to take a picture of the actual tick that we found on Chloe, but this is a picture of it what it looked like. Luckily this is an American Dog tick and they don't carry Lyme disease.
