Fleas and Ticks

[vampyregirl]

I know a lot of us on here own dogs. Mine just tested positive for Lyme disease this week. He has no symptoms, and according to the vet, 90% of the dogs that have it show no symptoms. Rocky had to go for his annual appointment, and they did the blood work. It came out a "very weak positive" for lyme. The numbers were weak enough that the vet made the lab test his blood again!! He'll be just fine. He's on antibiotics and a new preventative specifically for ticks and fleas.

Just letting folks out there know so they can be prepared!!! I live in Toledo, OH, and they said this year is going to be horrible for fleas and ticks because of the mild winter in this area. They also said it does not matter if you take your dog into a wooded area or not. Ticks are all over the place and your dog can get them in your own yard!!

Doctor says-----

I have a friend who is a DO and he believes everyone has Lymes.( I don't believe that and I won't let him touch me) Living at almost 6,000 ft---no ticks, fleas, rattlesnakes. Thank G@d.
My Dane ( Kaos ) only gets fleas when my sister come up from SF Bay area

Ticks, fleas, and rattlesnakes cause: Kaos

PS:

Hope you dog never shows any Lymes symptoms.
