Lyme Round 2

Well, leave it to me to have a Lyme relapse.

I started limping again at the end of October. Mom noticed right away, so off to the Vet's we went. I am on another month of Doxycycline, and Tramadol to use as needed for pain. Also, the dreaded restricted activity for a few more days, even though my joints look good.

All in all it isn't bothering me, except for not being allowed to chase any critters. I have gotten a few new squeakie toys to play with (I know, like I don't have enough) and they sure do squeak!!!!

Mom and I did spend a few days in Maryland visiting the Kids. We painted the baby's room and I tried to chase Tiger the cat. Rallyn and I did wrestle a lot, but our Moms were constantly telling us to ease up so my joints weren't hurt. Moms can be such fun wreckers.

Daddy will be home for Thanksgiving!!! By then I will be allowed to go running with him!!!!

Mom says we will have a house full for Turkey Day, that means tons more belly rubs!!!

Gotta go to bed now!! I hope to spend more time on Dogster soon!!


Day 5 of Lyme

Well, I must say I am doing tons better!!! My limp is just about all gone and I have been taking my meds like a good boy.

Mom wasn't to thrilled that I didn't want to end my walk today. How could I?? There were 4 deer, 3 babies that were only a little bigger than me!! I wanted to chase and play with them!! Mom made me go home. Bummer!!

A little while later Mom checked the yard to ensure it was critter free before she let me out. No critters, but I decided to do 5 laps around the pool at full speed!!!!! It felt so good to run!!! Mom was trying to get me to stop, but I needed to burn off some energy!!! Needless to say, the rest of the trips out back tonight were on leash. Mom is such a killjoy!!!

25 more doses of meds to go!!!

Thanks for all of the PotP!!


I have Lyme Disease.

Friday morning I woke up and was limping. Mom knew I didn't do anything to hurt my paw and then thought of Lyme. I tested as exposed to it back in April, so we knew to be on the lookout for any signs of the nasty tick disease.

They took blood and gave my Doxycycline to take for 30 days. Today it was confirmed I had a count of 136. They would start treatment with a count of 30, so it was great I already started the meds.

I only show signs of limping, so it was caught early and I will make a complete recovery. (loss of appetite, puking, lethargic are other signs) My kidney function is fine too!!

The main bummer is I have to restrict my activity for 2 weeks to allow my joints to heal. So if any of my pals would like to come over and catch the annoying groundhog who has been taunting me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the PotP!!! It's helped so much already!!!

Mom wants to add:

Monthly preventatives (Frontline plus, etc) help keep the nasty ticks from spreading diseases, unfortunately we live in a high risk area, and no preventative is 100%. (I will be on it year round now instead of breaks in the super cold weather)

Get annual snap tests and be aware of the risks in your area.

Catching it quick and starting treatment can make all of the difference.
