Do you have ticks in the US? Over the years, two of our beloved dogs succumbed to tick bite, stopped eating, rushed to the vet but left too late to be saved. In both cases, the tick has been hiding for days unnoticed and the poison was just too great to be saved. We loved camping in the bush which didn't help. I have a scar on my neck where a tick had imbedded itself, they love me for some reason, pulled heaps off myself over the years. Some Aussies believe they have Lyme disease which is caused by tick bite but authorities still say there is no such thing in Australia.
