∙ 16y agoParalysis ticks in Australia cause shortness of breath, loss of voice (the dog tries hard to communicate its distress but cannot do so vocally owing to paralysis), and eventually paralysis of the limbs. The majority of ticks attach to the front third of the body. Medical intervention is essential if your dog is to live; simply finding and removing the tick won't help by the time the symptoms are evident. Get to a vet immediately rather than waste time looking for the tick.
