Baby Dragon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wondering if Toowoomba is a high tick area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallomph Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I live out west of Twba, but asked my vet about prevalence of paralysis ticks in the area recently. She said they were present in Twba, but not rampant. They are not present in Pittsworth or further west. There are plenty of bush ticks everywhere out here though.

frufru Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Lived in Toowoombah for 4 years and general consensus was that if you lived on the range side there were definitely paralysis ticks (we never took our dogs around the bushland of the escarpment) Knew people who lived there and lost dogs due to paralysis tick. If you lived on the western side of town paralysis ticks were not such a problem. I find the best people to ask are the local vet practices.

Baby Dragon Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys. I will be in the centre of town mostly, going to a work conference. He will be treated with frontline plus anyway, but just wanted to know if I needed to be extra viligant in searching him each night. It sounds like we will be ok!

pie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 My parents are moving to Toowoomba with 2 dogs in a few months, I'd better tell them about this. Thanks Blossom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
