Tick paralysis in cats

C&T Series: Update from Dr Frank Gaschk

Tick season is upon us – in fact, colleagues at local emergency centres report it never went away, and that they have seen paralysis tick cases throughout the winter.

The December 2011 issue of our Control and Therapy Series features an important article by CVE supporter Dr Frank Gaschk who has updated his 11-Step Treatment Protocol for Tick Paralysis in Cats (2008/09) article.

His new one, Reply to Tick Paralysis in the Cat (C&T Nos. 5148 & 5149, Issue 264, Sept 2011, also includes a beautifully illustrated full-colour cartoon of the ‘3-host life cycle of the paralysis tick’.

Normally only available to members and subscribers, we have made both of Frank’s articles available here on our website for all to read, in order to get this important message out to vets and pet owners:
