My GSP is now 6 years old. I have had her on all Vet recommended flea and tick meds since I got her as a pup. Three years ago we hunted northern MN. She was on oral meds and I also used sprays each time out ( I had the lime vaccine regiment before it was yanked from the market). We were both covered with small lime carrying ticks each time in the field. I was confident she was protected. I did not have her tested for lime disease until about 3-4 months ago. She tested positive! Luckily she shows no symptoms and has now been treated. Won't know if cured until a follow-up test in about a month.
CAN'T BE TOO CAREFULL! THIS IS AN SERIOUS EPIDEMIC FOR BOTH HUMANS AND OUR FAITHFUL FRIENDS!
