Since I am not getting any feedback here (since it is the weekend and most vets are closed), I guess I will be making calls "again" to hopefully get a better idea of how long I should wait to get her tested.

I understand that's why when you test for it I would recommend sending the blood out. We were just learning about lovely perisites in class but didn't make it all the way through Lyme but when we do I can try to get back to you. We also have to keep in mind that the over use of antibiotics can end up being a problem too that's why I recommended waiting for symptoms.
