My pug has constipation and fever after tick removal. Is she okay?

Question

My pug has constipation and fever I think I can't check the temperature because I dont have thermometer but she is pretty hot, 2 days ago we bathed her and remove her ticks and fleas but there were so many it took like more than 90 mins of bathing but we just removed like half of the tick and fleas. Is she fine? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed

Hello, sorry to hear about Lu. Ticks do not typically cause constipation. She could be dehydrated from the fever. Additionally, some ticks can carry infectious diseases which may cause patients to become sick and then develop constipation. I would recommend having Lu evaluated by your veterinarian if she is not doing any better to ensure there is no underlying tick borne disease or dehydration. Hope this helps and best of luck.
