He said Lola's was definitely pink but not the vibrant pink that he got from another large dog recently tested. Yes, he wants to put her on doxycyline for a month. He just wants to check to make sure of the dosage before prescribing it. Are there things I need to watch for while on it? |
Not sure. Never used that one...
While I may very well treat her if you trust the vet, I am just a bit concerned that he has a 10% positive rate. In my opinion, 10% of his patients do not need to be treated for lyme's disease and it sounds a bit crazy to me but I could be wrong...
