Signs of tick fever in dogs include fever, loss of appetite, stiff joints and lethargy, but also can include vomiting, diarrhea. Symptoms may not surface for months after transmission, and can include fever, loss of appetite, depression, weight loss, runny eyes and nose, nose bleeds and swollen limbs. Symptoms are similar to other tick diseases including fever, loss of appetite, stiff joints and lethargy. Canine Hepatozoonosis symptoms are fever, runny eyes and nose, muscle pain and diarrhea with the presence of blood. Canine Bartonellosis symptoms are intermittent lameness and fever. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever symptoms include fever, stiffness, neurological problems and skin lesions. Canine Babesiosis symptoms may also include pale gums, weakness and vomiting. Lyme disease can cause stiffness, lameness, swollen joints, loss of appetite, fever and fatigue.

Dogs are highly susceptible to infection. Early signs may include fever (up to 105°F [40.5°C]), loss of appetite, enlargement of the lymph nodes, inflammation of several joints, coughing or difficulty in breathing, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and swelling of the face or extremities. In severe cases, unraised, perfectly round, purplish red spots may be seen on the linings of the eyelids and mouth. These spots are caused by bleeding below the surfaces of these tissues. Signs of nervous system involvement, such as altered mental states, impaired balance, and increased painful spinal sensitivity from a normally painless touch, may be seen. Between 1% and 10% of dogs with Rocky Mountain spotted fever die from the disease.

Symptoms of Lyme disease tend to be vague, come and go, and vary from pet to pet. Symptoms include: Limping and swollen joints – usually this starts in the joint closest to the tick-bite site, then shifts from leg to leg. Fever is one of the symptoms. Lethargy is also a symptom. Other symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, reduced appetite, and nerve problems. Pets don’t tend to get the classic ‘bulls eye/target’ lesion that humans get if bitten by a tick with Lyme disease. Lyme disease can affect multiple parts of the body and cause a variety of symptoms such as limping, stiffness, fever and low energy. Drinking and weeing more can also be a symptom of Lyme disease.
