Sylke has had her first vaccination for Lyme disease two weeks ago and is due for her booster on May 20
Was there adverse reactions to the Vaccination Dufensmirtch ?

Sharon, I had a nice chat with our vet on Lyme disease yesterday. My wive who is an ER nurse was there and we were discussing the preventive measures. When a patient come into the ER for a tick removal, they are then given a Prophylactic dosage of doxycyline...proven to work. So, would it work for dogs ? Apparently they don't know. Primarily because a dog can't tell you what is wrong, if their joints feel stiff etc. They don't say is doesn't but they also don't say it will.
She also noted that the 'Snap 4Dx' test they use for testing the dogs works to indicate if people have been exposed to the Borrelia burgdorferibacterium, which I didn't know. Seems that it should be available as a prescreening for further testing for Lyme disease.
In then end, those little tics are sure making vets rich....over $600 for 3 dogs to be made safe for another year
