My dog has a tick bump and is vomiting. Is it tick-borne disease?

Question

I have a small dog about 8 pounds. She had a tick almost a month ago. There is still a bump on her belly where the tick was located. The bump almost looks like a nipple. She has recently started pucking her food at night...do you think that the two are linked?

Poor girl. Certainly tick borne disease can cause vomiting a couple weeks after exposure, but a month seems to be a bit prolonged. Also you would typically see other symptoms too such as limping, low grade fever and a decreased appetite. Other potential causes of vomiting are: stomach upset due to a change in diet, eating something she shouldn’t have, acid reflux disease, or even inflammatory bowel disease just to name a few. if he vomiting continues for more than a day or two, or if she has any more symptoms that you didn’t mention here, then this best to take her in for a complete examination to ensure she is ok. I hope that your fur baby gets well soon! Best wishes and take care.
