We're not the only ones embracing the warmer weather. Tick season is here, and vets have already seen a rise in cases of pets presenting with allergic reactions, some serious. And don't think we humans can avoid the ick around ticks either!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
High are fast Outh coast, but unfortunately, if we don't
see them in the early stages, or they have many,
many picks on them and are very severely affected, they
can end up with severe respiratory paralysis, and unfortunately we
are unable to face them at that point.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
God a, I'm James fantasy. Well spring has definitely arrived
on the far South coast and when things warm up
we probably feel more inclined to get out into that
nicer weather. And we're not the only ones, yep. The
seasonal change means the ticks season is also here, those
resilient little parasites that feed on animal and human blood.
(00:42):
They are indeed like teeny tiny vampires. Ticks are actually
not insects. They belong in the iraqnid family, alongside spiders, scorpions,
and mites. They thrive in humid, moist, bushy areas, of
which this region has plenty, and they come bearing a
set of curved teeth that can dig into the skin
(01:03):
of a host and hang on to feed for a
long time. Ticks cause infections, and usually the first thing
people think of is when they're beloved pets end up
with one, and it can be lethal. So it's super
timely to chat with veterinarian doctor Nicki Patrickson from the
beg at Cabago Vets. Even in the last month of winter,
(01:23):
and Nicki has already seen an uptick pun very much
intended in tick cases in dogs and cats, and that
doesn't bode well for this spring and summer.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
On the far South coast, we have had at least
ten tick cases come in and unfortunately some of them
have been so severe that we have been unable to
save them. So it's been quite a dramatic start to
the season.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Obviously, I mean you touched on it there with you
know some pets haven't actually survived. It can be extremely serious,
can't it. Having ticks on your pets absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Often what we see initial with any paralysis pick that
has gotten onto an animal without prevention on we'll see
some increase in wobbliness in the back legs or a taxia,
and then can progress to an increase in paralysis up
the body towards breathing issues as well. But unfortunately, if
we don't see them in the early stages, or they
(02:20):
have many many ticks on them and a very severely affected,
they can end up with severe respiratory proalysis, and unfortunately
we are unable to save them at that point, so
it can be very very serious. However, if we do
see them in the early stages of pick proalysis, that
we can certainly give them some treatment medication that will
(02:41):
help to stop the paralysis and hopefully talk them through
so that they can go home.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, and I spoke with someone from the vets up
in Maria earlier today and they're seeing exactly the same
thing in terms of a spike in numbers. You know,
over the last week or two. What is it about
the South coast that brings the ticks out at this
time of year.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
In terms of the coast, certainly we have an area
that is very amenable to ticks, so just the environment
itself and all the scrubland and brushland and bush that
we do have. We have a lot of wildlife as well,
which also carry the ticks. So we do see a
lot of ticks that are increasing population simply because of
(03:22):
the wildlife population we have here too. But the biggest
thing is the weather. So because we are a nice
temperate environment, ticks can survive for a long long time
in the environment. And what we do see is the
minute we get some rain and then we get a
warm burst of weather, those ticks start to develop from
their little level stages up into adults very quickly, and
(03:44):
that's only starts the increasing cases like we have in
the last few weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They're almost like little vampires, aren't they. Ticks? They grab
onto you and they suck your blood. Can you just
talk to us a little bit about their activity once
they're on you? What do they doing and how long
do they stay on and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So, once ticks are attached to any sort of mammal,
so it can be humans as well as any animal,
they basically attach with their little mouthpiece. It sounds really awful,
but that's they do. Their little vampires. So they attach
on and they basically then suck blood. And as they
suck blood, they will get bigger and bigger and bigger.
So often what we find is that when they attach,
(04:23):
they're very very small and hard to see, particularly in
animals because they're covered in fur. But as they start
to engage and get full of blood, they become a
lot more obvious, and once they are full, they will
detach themselves, and that can take anywhere from a day
to a number of days. Usually if it is a
paralysis tick, though by the time they have attached, the
(04:46):
toxin that causes paralysis is in the tick for liva.
So once they attach, that saliva starts getting into the
body system and that will start causing this very very rapidly.
So they don't need to be very big to cause
really serious issues.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I think anyone that's lived on the coast for
a little while has dealt with ticks in one way
or another. What is the best method for getting them
off you, whether it's on your person, on your friend,
on your animal. You know, because you hear all of
the things come up, you know, you freeze them off,
you burn them off, you pick them off. What should
(05:21):
people actually be doing.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I can only speak for animals because I don't know
a whole lot about humans, But in my experience in animals,
the best thing to do is you can actually get
tick removers, which are small, little plastic instruments that we
use to slot underneath the tick's body and we twist
so that we're twisting the tick off the body, and
that will actually let their head release from the body.
(05:43):
If we try and pull them off using tweezers, or
our fingers or something like that. You can actually risk
leaving the head of the tick on the body and
that will then continue to produce the libat, so you
need to be really careful with how you remove them.
And you can also spray them with methylated spirit as well,
but also just be careful doing that because that in
itself can be very dangerous. You don't want to be
(06:05):
burning any skin using spirits either, so we do urge
caution with that. The best way to do it is
certainly to get the tick remover and twist the ticks off.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, I know, when our cat had a tick, we
identified it and then we had this little freeze spray
thing that you can get. I think it's like dry ice.
It said you just spray it once and then eventually
it will just drop off. We sprayed it and then
his symptoms didn't get any better and it didn't drop off,
so if anything, he got worse. So we rushed him
(06:35):
to the vet and they said the tick was actually
still alive. So since then we've actually bought that little
tool that you were talking about, which is like a
little claw hammer, so that if any more come in
we can actually you know, get under there and twist
them and pull them out.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, that's right. If the head is still there, even
when they're dead, if they're still attached, there is still
a risk there. We really need to get them off.
And look, there are lots of old meth on how
to get ticks off, of course, and I'm sure some
of them do work, but we found the best way
is just using the applicator to get them off and
twisting them off. It causes very minimal pain or very
(07:11):
little discomfort to the animal as well.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Just lastly, Nikki, what's your advice to people if they
do find a tick on themselves or their pets. What
should they be doing If.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
They find a tick on themselves, I would recommend that
they have attached to their GP or whatever medical professional
that they can see at the time. If you find
a tick on your animal, I would recommend that you
remove it, keep it, and then call your vet. It
is important to know that there are lots of different
types of ticks and not all of them will cause paralysis.
(07:44):
So what I think is important is taking a picture
of a tick if you find one, and even just
sending that picture to your BET will help us be
able to identify if we need to be concerned or not.
But I would definitely stress that if you see any
symptoms of woldliness in the back legs or breathing issues
at all when you do happen to find tick, please
(08:04):
don't hesitate to come straight to your vet because you
will need to start treatment immediately.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's sneaky Patrickson from Bigger Cabargo vets. More soon on
the subject of ticks, specifically what happens when we're humans
encounter these little bloodsuckers and what you need to do
if you are bitten. That's next on Iheartfar South Coast.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I art Far South Coast, I art Far South Coast.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Hey, I'm James Fantasy and in this episode we're talking ticks,
No talk, just ticks. Like us, These little bloodsucking parasites
just love living in the lushness of the Far South Coast,
especially in spring and summer, and anyone who loves hitting
the local bush trails will usually be careful to check
themselves for ticks after a good bushwalk, as the biggest
(08:56):
health concern for humans is having an allergic reaction to
will bite. Even if you've managed to dislodge the tick,
emergency department's at Southeast Regional Hospital in Beiga and at
the Maria District Hospital are seeing an increasing number of
acute allergic reactions following tick removals, especially paralysis ticks, which
(09:17):
unfortunately can have lethal consequences for the family cat or dog.
So let's speak to an expert working in the northern
part of our region. Doctor Stephen Serb is from the
Maria Vett Hospital and he says, while tick bites are
usually harmless if discovered in good time, sometimes they can
cause an allergic reaction or serious illness.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Still in the August, so it is still winter, but
we've already started seeing a massive hike in number of
kick cases at the moment. The warmer weather, of course,
is making them a lot more active and they're out
in force at the moment, and they're definitely affecting a
lot of people's animals. So it's important for us to
stay b do it with stuff like flent pic prevention,
(10:02):
because if an animal is bitten by a tech it
can cause serious effects on the animal.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, and what are some of those effects that animals
can face if they are bitten by one or multiple ticks?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
So generally the animals start being a little weak at
the back end. They'll start walking a little funny, they
may struggle to get up, things like that. And what
happens is there's a slowly ascending paralysis from the back
end to the front end of the animal. So, like
I said, firstly, you'll see the weakness in behind, and
(10:35):
then you'll often start seeing a lot more difficulty breathing
from the animal, and they might start making quite loud
respiratory noises and things like that. Another thing wants to
start to really get quite severe is the animal might
not be able to get up at all, really gasping
for breath, and they can have like quite dilated pupils
(10:55):
and signs like that.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, and what's your advice for pet owners on the
far South coast who start to notice these symptoms.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I mean, just always be looking at your animal, making
sure that when you're out in bushy areas, when you
get back, making sure that you maybe give them a
quick checkover, just feeling around looking at them. And often
the tick can take a day or two for the
paralysis to start to set in, So especially if you've
(11:24):
just gone on a long bushwalk with your animal, just
be vigilant over the next few days, watching your animal
for any of these signs and.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
If they do notice that their pet is drowsy or
not getting up. But what should they do then?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
If your animal is not on any tick prevention, you
should be bringing it into your local vet on the
South Coast so they can immediately triage it and make
sure that it can be treated as soon as possible.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Obviously, prevention is best right and a lot cheaper than
bringing your pet who's riddled with ticks in and obviously
it means that your pet doesn't have to go through
that experience. How can people be ensuring that their pets
are protected from these ticks that seem to be everywhere
across the South Coast.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
There is a range of products for both cats and dogs.
They all have their different benefits. Some are provide slightly
cheaper protection, but then you have to give them more
frequently and maybe even give them something to eat. Some
you can just administer along the back line. But is
it a bit more expensive and you don't have to
administer as much, But of course there is a price
(12:29):
to consider. But ultimately, no matter what you choose, when
an animal has to come into the hospital. They need
a lot of treatment, they need fluids, they need the
tick anti serum, and that is quite expensive and often
if your animal has to stay in a few days,
the price can really come up and it will always
be more expensive. And just making sure your animal is
safe and kick prevention of course, especially if you have
(12:53):
any friends that are coming down for the summer months,
make sure you advise them as well to put their
animal on tick prevention because we see so many people
coming down for holidaying or staying over with family, especially
at the Christmas break, whose animals apart fromt prevention and
they will inevitably get a tick and it's always a
massive stress.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's Steven Serb from Maria's Vet Hospital. So just recapping
ticks most active from now until November. So if you
happen to find one on your own body, try and
ignore the temptation to grab a pair of toyasers or
just grab it by the head and start pulling. Experts
say it's best to head to the local chemist and
get a spray that contains the chemical ether which will
(13:36):
freeze the ticks so it drops off. Just make sure
you do a better job than I did of it,
and you get it off properly. If in doubt, head
to your local GP or emergency department. The website Health
dot NSW dot gov dot au also has some good
advice for humans, but for your pets check out RSPCA
NSW dot org dot au. That's all for now on Iheartfastouth,
(14:00):
most proudly supported by the New South Wales Government. Catch
you next time. I heart Far South Coast
