So sorry to hear that Sully has Lymes.
Andromeda was diagnosed 4 months ago.
She was on Doxycycline for a month. Lolapup is absolutely right
in suggesting probiotics such as yogurt. This will help settle his stomach and also help maintain his immune system.
More then ever now you want to make sure that you are feeding him
nutrient dense foods, and also do not give him the meds on an empty stomach, give the meds to him right after he has eaten.
This way the meds will have less trauma on the lining of the stomach.
Lymes disease is known for effecting all the joints adversely, just like RA, or osteoarthritis. So you might want to invest in a stair that would help him get up and down off the couch or bed easier without pain.
It does get better, so hang in there!
