I believe she took it for a month. She has never shown any signs of having Lyme. After she tested positive she then had more bloodwork done. I'm sorry I can't remember off hand what test was done but I'm thinking just a basic full blood panel to check everything else going on. So far Trixie is fine and I'm sure your baby will be too. I live in Maryland and ticks are just terrible here. Unfortunately, it only takes one bite from a tick that carries this disease to catch it. I'm glad your vet caught it early. Good Luck with everything. |
I'm in MD too! Ticks are terrible.
