I am without a doubt the Unluckiest Dog Owner in the WORLD. Between Rabbit dogs and house pets I own (They OWN ME)) 14 dogs 13 Beagles and a Bichon Frise as most of us do I try and keep up with worming,shots ,rabies,etc.
Izzy is 12 and has started to develop a occasional limp -Left foot not so much as a limp but she favors it usually clears up after a few hours. @ her age I figured a little Arthur

WELL this past Sunday she was stoved up and had time walking --so yesterday off to the Vet --This dog has NEVER had any health issues we had her spaid when when was young .

Here U can not visit the Vet they have U wait in your vehicle and call U when it is your turn-- they took Izzy in phone call about 10 minutes later -I am holding my breath as the last 4 dogs I have taken to the vet NONE came home Doc tells me she has LYME Disease-

Come on MAN!!!!!!!!!! how does this happen when the temp has not been above freezing in two + weeks except for 3 days-

I keep Doxycycline as well as Amoxicillin & Prednisone on hand as I believe if a Tick does get attached Doxy will stop them from getting infected

Sure enough he prescribed Doxy for 30 days Wish me Luck

Thanx
Jim

My understanding is that Lyme disease can take quite a while to manifest symptoms of joint pain. Weeks to months. At least in people.

I hope she gets over it . I pulled 2 big ticks off one of my dogs last . I fear ticks more than snakes .
