Do rabbits get tick paralysis?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbits are hosts to ticks but appear relatively resistant to the neurotoxic effects of&nbsp;<em>Ixodes holocyclus<\/em>. A study on wild rabbits in Sydney found that most rabbits had quite a burden of larval and nymph ticks, but adult ticks were found in low numbers. When adult ticks were found, they were always on the head\/neck area (where it\u2019s more difficult to groom off).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbits presenting with lower motor neuron signs are more likely to have floppy rabbit syndrome, spinal disease\/injury, or be generally weak from a systemic illness (or another illness or toxin altogether). And if those rabbits happen to have a tick on them, it may be a red herring or an indicator of debilitation and inability to groom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Image reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor CL et al. 2020.
