In Colorado, tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis are an increasing concern. These infections are transmitted through tick bites and can cause symptoms such as fever, lethargy, joint pain, and loss of appetite. In more advanced cases, they may lead to long-term. damage to the kidneys, liver, or other organs. Regular tick checks—especially after walks—and the use of monthly, veterinary-prescribed tick prevention are key to reducing risk. Annual blood testing can also help detect infections early.
