My first Yorkie Chipper had Lyme Disease 3 times. When he was 4 months old he got the Lyme vaccination and he was sick with Lyme Disease within the month. The vet said he probably already had the disease before the vaccine. Next year he gets the Lyme vaccination and sick with the disease within the month. Same thing happens the following year. Now I'm convinced that he is getting Lyme from the vaccine. After that I would not let Chipper get the vaccination. Chipper lived to be 13 years old and he never got Lyme again. This past summer I got Piper and when it was time for her to get the Lyme vaccination, I told the vet how I was convinced Chipper always got Lyme from the vaccine and I didn't want Piper vaccinated. The vet said that I was probably right that it is possible for some dogs to get Lyme from the vaccine. Piper was not vaccinated, I'll take my chances with the ticks.
