Need to reply to this subject. We have nearly 50% of our outside dogs exposed to lyme disease here in NE Ct. I have had it. Most of our dogs are successfully treated. We have the mouse (the source of the infection) and are over run with deer who have brought us the black legged tick hence commonly referred to as the deer tick. It is treatable "IF" caught early. Drug of choice is doxycycline which should not be administer in the presence of foods with high calcium content, eg not stuffed in a piece of cheese. It is also tough on an empty stomach, so give it after eating. As far as spot-on products, use only frontline or advantick; good article in the WSJ some mo's ago on this subject. Another real good means of tick control is a preventatic tick collar if put on per instructions. Must be replaced in 3mo's. A real Yankee will save what is cut off the original application (if your dog is not too big) save it in a ziplock bag and use this in three mo's. No one breed is more susceptible then another; it's exposure to tick bites and how attentive the owner is to removing the ticks. Remember, we are all animals, and a good article was published Apr 21 2011 in the American Agriculturist entitled "Go Ahead Be Ticked Off". Remember a real doctor treats more than one species and for some reason some feel that one must diagnose, treat and cure an animal in 15 minutes. In all fairness, one can not save a dead horse, hence a dog who has had lyme disease so long that it has gone into kidney failure it is not the Dr's fault. Read the article in the American Agriculturist, it's a good one.
