In spite of the development of tick\u2010antisera and the availability of highly effective tick\u2010preventative medications, thousands of dogs and cats present to veterinary clinics and hospitals with signs of tick paralysis each year; about 10% of these dogs and 8% of these cats may die from tick paralysis or are euthanized due to severe signs of tick envenomation. One of the mainstays of optimising patient outcome of dogs and cats with signs of tick paralysis is the prompt removal of the tick. In the present paper, we studied 10,913 attachment\u2010sites\u00a0of\n                    <jats:italic>I.\u2009holocyclus<\/jats:italic>\n                    arising from 10,311 veterinary consultations of dogs and cats in eastern Australia.
