We live on Cape Cod, so I always worry a bit about the deer tick situation.

I felt a little funny dosing him early, and am keeping an eye on him. So far he seems fine. He is on the larger side of the scale at almost 7 lbs.
I'm in S.E. Mass. Have you vaccinated for Lyme disease? I'm really torn about this. My vet says Zoey (4-1/2 lbs) is at low risk, but, hey. We're in the yard with her probably 2 hrs a day. Then, too, I've read the vacc. is not a 100% preventative.
