“Data was collected retrospectively from 119 dogs with an engorged paralysis tick showing clinical signs of tick paralysis on presentation. The location of a tick(s) was recorded, including their incidence once clipped in hospital. The hypothesis was there would be a significant difference between low and high tick scored groups for pulse oximetry and PvCO2 only. A significant difference was seen for pulse oximetry between respiratory score B (median 98%) and C (median 95.5%), and between a gait score 1 (median 98%) and 3 (median 96%).”
