I am not sure how I feel about this vaccine yet.
Jackson tested positive for Lymes last year (we have a lot of ticks here in MD) and he began limping as a symptom of it. He was treated with 30 days of antibiotics and was back to himself after 6 hours of starting the antibiotics and pain meds. He was tested this year and the test came back negative, so according to that, he no longer has Lymes disease. So, in my case, it was treated really simply and easily. My moms dog also "had" Lymes disease for 4yrs and lived perfectly fine.
I believe simply testing positive for it doesn't necessarily mean they HAVE lymes disease. I don't know, the whole thing confused me. But my vet never advised me to get the Lymes vaccine and never asked me about it, etc. I don't know how much it would actually work and if it would be worth it. It still is a kind of a new vaccine and it tends to make me nervous. |
