You must excuse me, but I have searched and searched google to find out what Lyme vaccine works against, we do not know this word Lyme, and google translate to danish do not know it :gaah

Hanne, here is an excellent article from the Baker Institute (University of Cornell Vet School) on Lyme disease:
Baker Institute : Animal Health : Lyme Disease

This site also has other topics/articles listed that are very informative and well worth reading.

Thank you, Trini now I'm with, we no not call it Lyme - it was the infection as my vet was talking about when I was down and get Minnie vaccinated.

He told me that it is very "dangerous" and was used extensively down to the border with Germany (we live in the opposite end of Jutland).

Therefore it is important that we treat the dog against ticks.

I will save your important link in my Sheltie folder. :hugs
 
Hey Kristie -- I am starting to think along the lines of the round of 1 year shots for Cubs. After hearing the story of "Molly" the sheltie and the update that really points to it being some form of "Perfect Storm" of things . . .

I am going to be writing out a schedule for Cubby to get his updates one at a time and not near his HW med, flea/tick med, or neutering IF we do this. I am still torn on the neuter idea. I am in a wait and watch how he develops/behaves and how he performs with scent whole.

I know Lyme can be bad, but I am not sold on the vaccine either.
 
We have so many ticks here - it warmed up a bit in December and Hanna picked one up in the park ( we didn't get any snow until mid January this year) when I thought we were done with them until spring. She had the vaccine last year and iIwill likely do it again this year, as the Revolution she takes clearly does nothing to deter them.
