Most Tick Fever cases can be treated at home, however if your dog is anaemic or is very weak, the vet may choose to keep him in hospital to make sure his treatment and recovery have the best chances of success. Most dogs make a full recovery from Tick Fever, however it is a very serious disease and can be fatal.

A blood test will confirm that the dog has tick fever. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you get a veterinary consultation done as soon as you see any of the above symptoms in your dog.

If a veterinarian suspects the disease, antibiotic treatment is usually started immediately without waiting for blood test results. Any delay in treatment may increase the chances of a severe or fatal infection.

In severe cases, unraised, perfectly round, purplish red spots may be seen on the linings of the eyelids and mouth. These spots are caused by bleeding below the surfaces of these tissues.

Signs of nervous system involvement, such as altered mental states, impaired balance, and increased painful spinal sensitivity from a normally painless touch, may be seen. Between 1% and 10% of dogs with Rocky Mountain spotted fever die from the disease.

Blood tests that assess antibody levels are used to diagnose Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If a veterinarian suspects the disease, antibiotic treatment is usually started immediately without waiting for blood test results.

Any delay in treatment may increase the chances of a severe or fatal infection. Depending on the severity of infection, supportive care for dehydration and bleeding may be necessary.

The most important preventive steps are those that control ticks, the most common source of the disease. Keeping your dog away from areas known to harbor ticks is a step you can take.

Preventive medications that will keep your dog from being infested with ticks are also available from your veterinarian. Any ticks found on your dog should be promptly and properly removed to prevent the spread of disease. Remove any ticks by using fine-pointed tweezers to grasp the head of the tick (right where it enters the skin).

Pull the tick straight off, making sure not to grasp or squeeze its body. If there are multiple ticks, it may be best to have your veterinarian remove them and examine your dog. It is important to remember that contact with fluids and excretions from infected ticks can spread the disease to people.
