Well the nx day Cody is listless, not himself, I call the vet and speak to a tech I am told some dogs get that reaction from the lymes and he will be fine in a day. Well, last year he got just a lyme shot and he was just fine. I was furious with the tech that gave him the rabies and lyme together.

We don’t have a huge issue with ticks in our yard but Lyme is an issue in the area and I’m afraid they might get a tick at the park or like I want to do tracking with Joey and that’s a great way to pick up ticks. I would have been pissed to. I know most of the techs pretty good so when they are taking the stats and stuff I tell them what I want and have never had that issue luckily. I’m not a huge person who speaks out in real life unless it comes to my pups lol.
