[QUOTE=Britster;3050249]Yup -- I had NO idea until he got tested that Lymes created joint problems. The vet said luckily he didn't have it for long, we caught it early. He was put on antibiotics for 30 days but the limping stopped 6 hours after giving him his first pill

He got a lot of ticks early in the summer while on Frontline so I think that's where he caught it from. Since switching to Advantix, there has been none to my knowledge.

I will have to give Advantix a try, as this winter in between the two huge snowfalls we had, I took the pups out for a short walk and my little girl came home with a tick!!!

I could not believe it! It was that one warm day right smack in between the two blizzards that she picked it up. Unbelievable!!! In the middle of winter no less, I have heard of this happening here in my area in MD, but never experienced it until now.
