Hi Raghavendra. For any kind of illness a pet suffers, first symptom shown is anorexia (lack of interest in food). If your pet is dull and sleeping more than usual, i suggest you to get blood work done (CBC, LFT and KFT) along with clinical examination for the proper diagnosis.

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Yes. Getting repeat blood tests post tick fever treatment is always advisable to see the improvement and the success.
