• Lyme disease in horses and cattle
Grooming to detect ticks and prompt removal will help to minimize the risk of contracting Lyme disease.  On horses, ticks are most likely to be found around the head, throat area, stomach, or under the tail.  Ticks can be removed with tweezers by grasping the mouth parts of the tick adjacent to the skin and gently pulling back.  If not done properly, the mouth parts of the tick can remain imbedded in the animal.
