I still don't give the lyme vaccine, and I've heard of at least three dogs who contracted lyme while on the vaccine so I'm not convinced it's effective anyway. Risks seem to outweigh benefits IMO.
Bordatella, I stopped that one after Barney got KC on two occasions despite vax. Why bother?
I hope your little one is ok. Hugs. |
Wow, I thought that we were in the thick of lyme country. We been doing the lyme vaccine and have never had an issue nor tested positive. In my neighborhood (14 homes) 6 families have tested positive for lyme, some with several members in the family. One time I had over 2 dozen deer ticks on me after working in the garden under tall grasses...never again! I have been tested 3x due to things like this and thankfully have come back negative. So in our case the lyme prevention has been effective. As for bortadella, we've been fortunate with that as well--they go to the groomers to get their nails and glands done.
Thanks for the well wishes.
