A veterinary extern unexpectedly saved the life of a sheltie after spotting a paralyzing tick behind his ear— moments before the dog was scheduled to be euthanized.

Ollie, 10, lives in Southeast Portland with his owner, Falline Fate Meteney, and her parents, Al and Joelle Meteney, and loves the outdoors. But about a week after returning from a recent trip to the Umpqua River and Eastern Oregon, Ollie began acting lethargic. Eventually, he was no longer able to stand up, walk or control his bladder.

I had a dog that got that. The vet knew exactly what it was the instant I brought her in. It is very scary.

no kidding. the vet did say it was rare and treated her for it. basically just a tick bath and antibiotics.

pardon my ignorance but what is an extern? I have never heard this term in my life.

Coincidentally my dog was about 10 years old when she got it as well. She lived another 7 years after.
