Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ryley. Ehrlichia is a disease that is spread through ticks, not fleas. The brown dog tick is the most common one to spread this disease. However, a few other types of ticks can occasionally carry the disease. It is not spread by all ticks though. I hope this information helps!
