Animal Smiley 049 Another tick desease/Buddy was positive

Buddy went in for his yearly exam last Thurs. I can't believe he also
gained 2lbs Now he's up to 15.5. The vet said he's just big boned.
Anyhow with two people trying to hold him down to take blood he was
screaming like he was being tortured. He never has done this before.
They also had to muzzle him because he almost took two fingers off the
vet "My good boy"

The vet told me that there is a new tick desease going around this year
and 65% of his patients are showing up positive with it. Of course I wanted Buddy tested and his results came back positive as well.
He is on an antibiotic for 21days. We have loads of ticks here because of
the deer and wildlife who live in our woods. I am not surprised.
I love Buddy's vets they are young and up to date with all that is going
on so I do trust them. However I wanted to ask more questions but had a
splitting headache and just wanted to get out of there. Anyone else
hear of this tick problem? Sympthoms are very much like Lyme desease
and Buddy had no sympthoms to my knowledge.
Well $274.40 later we left two pounds heavier and 21days of antibiotics.
Other than that all went well.
