Canine Rickettsiosis

Canine Rickettsiosis is an infectious disease in dogs caused by bacteria known as Rickettsia, which are usually transmitted through ticks. Infected dogs may show symptoms like fever, lethargy, joint pain, and skin rashes. The disease can lead to more serious health issues if not treated promptly. Preventative measures include regular tick control and avoiding tick-infested areas. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, and treatment usually consists of antibiotics. Early detection and intervention are key to ensuring a full recovery for your pet.
