Chloe has Lymes Disease

I'm sorry to hear Chloe has Lyme. Glad you caught it early. Hopefully she'll recover fast and have no lasting effects.

I'm in the middle of testing family and friends dogs for HWT/ticks diseases and got the 4dx tests this year mostly for the tick dieases. So far 9 Rotts, 2 shih ztus and 1 BC all clear mostly city dogs. Weds, I'm testing 27 dogs, hopefully no one is postive for anything. I'm usually not that lucky. Tick country here.:( They have been bad for over a month now.
 
Yucko....

So, unfortunately this weekend, poor Chloe started a slight limp again in her front legs and looks a little stiff. She is still acting normal, but when you know her and how she is usually pretty active you can tell that something isn't 100%. I called my vet and he decided to put her on another 29days of doxy. Poor baby. I kept her home from agility class today....to bad she doesn't know it is Monday, or she would be really bummed :no: as she LOVES her agility class.
 
:( Poor Chloe! Again, good for you for noticing it early. Hopefully the doxy takes effect quickly and she can get back to agility.
 
Aw I'm sorry Chloe is symptomatic again :cry:

Bailey sympathizes with Chloe. She will be missing her first agility class tomorrow. Good thing she has no idea.
 
Those damn ticks are so hard to find! With your quick spotting, I must remember to do checks on the pups after they've been frolicking in the bush at the cottage.

Last year, I just happened to bring the pups in for their annual check up the day after a weekend at the cottage, and the vet found a tick in the corner of Bacca's eye. Well, quick removal and then onto K9 Advantix ever since.

So far so good. You might want to consider this instead of Frontline. It's powerful stuff, and not to be used if you have cats, btw.
 
Thanks Barb....I have a cat, so I am afraid to use Advantix. But, my cat is 17 years old so my days of Frontline are numbered :lol:

The only time I find ticks on Chloe are on the corners of her eyes. I guess the frontline does not go to that area of the body.
 
Sorry to hear about Chloe. Barkley is on another round of Lyme this summer too, just finishing up his month of meds this week. This is his third summer of having it at least once, and this time the doxycyclene didn't work as quickly as it has in the past. Last week he was back in and xrayed to be sure there wasn't something else going on. My vet didn't find anything and he did test positive for Lyme. Again. He is just now starting to look more normal. I am wondering if after repeated runs of the medication they develop some immunity to it or something.

I hope that isn't the case with Chloe and she improves quickly and can get back to agility!
