Hello everyone. Despite our Charisma getting the latest vaccine, along with topical tick/flea preventative, she still got Lyme disease last summer. It was caught early and a 3-wk course of antibiotics did the trick. We do hike nearly everyday in the woods and fields, but we religiously do a tick check on ourselves and the dog every night (she thinks its just extra attention until we pull one out!). Our vet still suggests the vaccine since our chances of exposure are so much greater than the average dog.
David and Paula Sandler & Charisma (time for a tick check yet?)
