I took Becca in for her heartworm test today. She was clear for that, but positive for lyme disease. I hadn't vaccinated her for it because her breeder suggested not. She was on Frontline last summer. I'm assuming it may be from the tick I found on her in December. You would think with snow on the ground there would not have been ticks. I had her vaccinated today and go back for a booster in 3 weeks.

She is on minocycline, similar to doxicycline, twice a day for a month. Becca has not shown any symptoms at all. Has anyone else been through this? Any suggestions?

Western Maine seems to be tick central. Is Advantix better than Frontline?

Around here if they treated all positive dogs without symptoms, just about every dog would be treated, I think.
