Ticks can transmit a variety of diseases that could cause these symptoms. I would recommend taking Maira to the vet to see if she has a tick-borne disease. The vet may recommend in-house testing for tick disease, sending out a tick panel to a lab, CBC, and/or blood chemistry to determine what exactly is going on to decide which treatments will be best for this particular case.
