Over the past month or so we have seen a number of patients for emergency treatment following a snake bite or collapsing from a paralysis tick. Whilst snake bites are something we can't prevent against, tick paralysis is something we can.
There is a number of simple-to-use products on the market. They vary in how long the prevention coverage lasts. The time periods are from one to six months and either come as a chew or spot-on. We recommend our clients Nexgard Spectra or a product from the Bravecto range.
In the photo above Practice Manager, Chris is holding the antivenoms that are used to save a pet's life. Whilst they are small and don't seem like a lot they are powerful and are all we have to prevent a pet from passing away if they are bitten by a snake or paralysis tick. It is also a rather costly procedure and to make matters more concerning there is a shortage of tick antivenom (the yellow box). So, if your pet isn't currently up-to-date with tick prevention please make this a priority.
To help our client make tick prevention last longer we have a... Nexgard Spectra Christmas promotion!
With the warmer weather upon us and a national shortage of paralysis tick anti-serum, it's never been a better time to stock up on parasite preventatives for your pet.
