Biliary is not the only disease your dog can pick Biliary is not the only disease your dog can pick up from ticks. Here in KZN, we also regularly see Ehrlichia, and although less common, Hepatozoon.

The difference? They affect the body in different ways.

🩸 Babesia is a protozoan that attacks red blood cells.
🦠 Ehrlichia is a type of bacteria that targets white blood cells and can affect clotting.
🦴 Hepatozoon is a protozoan (when a dog ingests an infected tick) that can affect multiple organs and tissues, including the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, lungs, pancreas and muscles.

So what should you look out for?
BABESIOSIS
• Pale or yellow (jaundiced) gums
• Weakness, lethargy or collapse
• Fever
• Reduced appetite or not eating

EHRLICHIOSIS
• Nosebleeds
• Tiny red spots or bruising on the skin or gums
• Stiff, painful joints
• Reluctance to walk

HEPATOZOONOSIS
The signs can be a little more subtle and develop over time:
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Muscle pain and stiffness
• Weight loss
• Muscle wastage

And this is the part we really want you to remember, tick-borne diseases can make a dog very sick very quickly.

Severe cases can lead to complications such as seizures and kidney failure, and some dogs become so anaemic that they need a blood transfusion.

So yes, use tick and flea prevention. And if your dog suddenly seems not quite right, don’t wait it out.

To every woman who kept going when life gave her e To every woman who kept going when life gave her every reason not to.
The ones who had to prove themselves twice, who were told they were too much, too loud, too ambitious, too emotional, too anything.

We’re not just women. We’re women navigating systems that weren’t always built with us in mind, breaking ceilings we didn’t put there, and taking up space we were once told wasn’t ours.

We’re grateful for the women who came before us, standing up for the women beside us and fighting for the women who come after us.

Because women make up half of the world. And in our own little corner of it, women make up more than 60% of our workforce.

We’re vets, nurses, receptionists, managers, doctors, farmers, scientists, mothers, daughters, leaders, caregivers, and so much more.
We’re doing the work, getting shit done, and keeping things moving. 

So to every woman, in every country, in every field, at every stage of life, keep going.
Not because you have to be strong every second of every day, but because somewhere, another woman is watching you and realising that maybe she can, too.

Happy women’s day. 🫶🏻
