My vet also prefers titers over giving the booster shot. Sometime, but not often, you can see a bulls-eyes ring if a dog is bitten by a deer tick. Deer ticks are very, very tiny and easily missed. I hope your baby gets better very soon and responds quickly to the doxycyline and that there will be no residual pain from it.

Thank you...
