Sharav was healthy when he first came to live with me in April 2007, he but he got sick almost right away, vomiting all over the place and making me really worried.
The cause was ticks, engorged with his blood, which I began pulling off of his body, and I burnt them to destroy them.
It was not easy to find them all, since they had burrowed deep in his fur, but my grandmother advised me to look for them in pairs, and that helped me to find them all. He got better right away.
