CHM is a kin to the common parasite, the Australian Paralysis Tick which has landed on to your multi billion dollar 3yo thoroughbred. MMX, has graduated from the barrier trials, weekday country meetings, upgraded to Saturday metropolitan meetings but is yet to qualify for Group 1.
The Australian paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) causes the death of thousands of companion animals and livestock each year. Death follows ascending paralysis of the hindlimbs and respiratory failure.
CHM infestation has persisted for over six months and mild legal solutions haven't rid MMX of it. Preventing tick paralysis is a much safer and cheaper alternative than treating the condition once it has occurred. Unfortunately for MMX it failed to take any preventive action, so it appears that it will have to endure a harsh remedy administered by the court rather than by a vet.
