Default Damn ticks!!

My little Doodle started coming up lame, one leg, then another, I immediately suspected Lyme Disease and started her on doxycycline. Finally got her into the vet, wasn't Lyme, but it's first cousin anaplasmosis ---the treatment is the same. Leaving Tuesday for the UP, hope she recovers, she has become my favorite dog to hunt over.

My lab Fox had it in spite of being on the preventative meds. No problems once she got the antibiotics in her. Doodle will get over it but it will show up in her blood tests her whole life. Good luck in the UP.

Harold, I assume the Lyme vaccine doesn’t work on this?

Good luck to you and Doodle.

Daryl, assume you will be heading to SD in a week or so. Do you have another lab now?
Good luck out there.

Yes heading to SD next week and no I haven't found the lab I'm looking for yet. Hopefully soon as it's lonely around here without one.

For the last ten years or more the ticks in Vermont have been on the rise, to the point that I've treated all of my outerwear with Permetherine for five years now.

This year so far, we haven't seen a single tick.

There are tons of ticks in the UP right now. I comb them off of my Setters after every run. I have not found any stuck,I put new Soresto collars on them before I left home and spray our clothes with permethrin.
