My friends lab had the Lyme vx and still ended up getting it and dying of kidney failure at 7 years. Man those ticks I wish there was some way to control them! |
Same with my vet. She felt VERY uncomfortable about giving such little dogs the Lyme vaccine since reactions are so high. My little guy is allergic to his regular vacs so she really did not want to take that chance. Frontline is starting this week! My little furbutt buggers won't get outside until its soaked in really good!
