Could a tick bite be affecting your horse more than you realize?
A tiny tick can sometimes lead to a much bigger health concern.
Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses may cause subtle signs such as swelling, stiffness, discomfort, or changes in performance. Because these symptoms can resemble other conditions, early veterinary evaluation is important.
Checking your horse for ticks every day and monitoring any unusual swelling or changes in movement can help you act before problems become more serious.
