Life with Shiro
One Seizure, One Tick: The Price of Neglect
“A scary night that changed our views on tick prevention forever. Why checking Shiro daily is non-negotiable.”
“The sound was what hit first - the rhythmic, heavy thud-thud-thud of Shiro thrashing on the tile in the hallway. It was midnight, and by the time I reached him, his eyes were rolled back. It was a seizure, and it felt like our world had stopped in that single minute.”
The Shiro Solution
What actually worked
- Daily '10-finger' physical tick checks in hot zones (ears, armpits, and between paws).
- Using a dedicated tick comb and natural repellent spray during high-risk monsoon months.
- Keeping a recovery kit of electrolytes ready for any sudden lethargy.
