| lyme disease This is just simply an FYI post. Levi and I went for our usual walk Sunday evening. When I got home he started limping. Checked his pads no cuts or anything, felt around his leg...nothing. I decided I would wait and see if it was better the next day. Monday morning comes, he is much worse so I called the vet and set up an appointment for Tuesday.Almost looked like he had a hip injury. Monday night comes worse night of my life....Levi was shaking, feverish and totally out of sorts. I almost called for an ER appointment and I don't get nervous easily. Come to find out Levi's blood test came back positive for Lyme disease. I would have never guessed in a million years. He is on advantix year round, so I thought I was safe. The vet prescribed antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory and Levi is much better. Rest of blood came back normal, so he should come out of this just fine. But, scary. |

| Another yt'ers dog just was diagnosed with lymes. Brister is her name and her yorkie is Jackson. He's on meds and she said that it made world of difference for him, in just a matter of hours. Glad that your little one is on the mends.

| I bet it was scary but so glad you know what it is and it is treatable. Hope your little one is back to normal soon! Huggs
