Terrible Ticks…

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Marlies in News | 4 Comments

This morning we found a dog in the drop off cage outside the Animal Shelter. A very sweet dog! We named her Ella.
There was one big problem with Ella…… She was covered with ticks. As you can see on the pictures, her ears were fully covered with those parasites. Terrible!
Of course we gave her a bath and medication. Dogs can get very sick form those mean parasites and get tick disease. On Bonaire we call it Karpatten disease and dogs can actually die from this.

We do everything to cure Ella. And of course we keep you updated!
