This is Chewy. He is just one of my dearest friend's pets who have been taken by the tick epidemic that is currently plaguing Queensland, Australia. Please, if you live in our state and have pets that go out doors or socializes with people or animals that could have come in contact with ankle length or over grass areas then please, for your sake and theirs, check EVERY INCH of their body DAILY for these deadly parasites. Failure to find and remove these parasites will almost always result in paralysis followed by a slow and painful DEATH. Collars and sprays are useless in our current experience, they are merely a DETERRENT, they are NOT air tight solutions.

I hope that at the very least our misfortune will help us inform others of the dangers our furry little friends are facing this year. Even after taking these extreme measures, we have already suffered the loss of one dog and two cats. Please do everything you can to make sure your furry best friend is not the next victim.

Rest in peace Chewy, Felix and Harley. You will all be sorely missed.
