Dogs are sensitive to paralysis ticks found in coastal areas of East Gippland, so search your dog daily. Ticks range in size from a few millimetres to the size of a small fingernail. If a tick is found, remove using a pair of tweezers or long fingernail, do not crush or squeeze tick when removing, then contact a veterinarian for advice.
