He has been extremely lethargic, goes and sleeps in odd places, and seems kind of depressed. I've noticed his appetite isn't the same either. He eats, just not as much. Just been acting very distant and not himself. How long does it take to notice symptoms of Lyme? Would a blood test even detect it that soon? Anyone ever experience this with their babies? |
The tick has to be attached for 24 hours to spread Lyme. Do you think he was attached that long?
