Thanks for all the replies. One thing seems obvious, not every dog is affected the same. Maybe has to do with how quickly it is diagnosed and treated. I'm in NW Arkansas and I think it is something we will deal with in a lot of our dogs. Mine was on Simparica every month and sprayed with permethrin every hunt and still got it. His symptoms were he left two trees after getting treed right and I knew something was wrong but he wasn't showing really any other symptoms.
tick disease transfer time from tick to dog can be as little 2 to 24 hours from time tick starts feeding on blood , if you are finding live or dead ticks that have attached and feed on blood on your dog you need to change up your tick preventive routine . simpairica tick kill time is not fast enough to provide the needed results required for tick born disease . no oral on the market has the kill time required , i have tried permethin products for years , have not found one that works well enough to keep from finding dead ticks on my hounds . i now use the seresto collar on my dogs.ln 3 years i have not found a dead tick or live flea on my hounds . the collar kills ticks before they attach and feed on blood , i think some of the of dogs that relapse are from unsound tick preventive and dogs being infected for a second time , i have had 1 hounds with tick disease , she made a full recovery with no ill effects, could be because it was caught early because i take both my hounds in the spring for a tick heart worm test ,
