Geographic distribution:
These diseases have a global distribution and are especially common in areas where ticks are active.
Differences of canine ehrlichiosis, canine lyme disease, and canine anaplasma
Pathogen
Canine Ehrlich’s disease: caused by Ehrlichia canis.
Canine Lyme disease: caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.

Specific symptoms
Canine Ehrlichiosis: common symptoms include nosebleeds, bleeding tendencies, and eye problems (e.g., uveitis).
