We live in Colchester, CT, where deer ticks are abundant. Victory was vaccinated for Lyme Disease in Mid-November, but a couple of weeks later, she started limping, favoring her right foreleg. We let it go, thinking it was just a strain. I talked to Sharon at Freedom on 12/15 and she suggested that I bring her to the vet, since it was not improving. I brought her in the next day and she tested positive for Lyme Disease, meaning she had gotten infected at least two weeks earlier. She was put on Doxycycline for 30 days, and Previcox for 10 days. Well, she is still limping, but she is much perkier than she had been. No more "Droopy Dog!" We have her on buffered aspirin, which is helping with the limping. She is getting into all kinds of trouble now- jumping onto the furniture, following the kitties onto the window sill and taking garland off the Christmas tree. I guess we have a normal, rambunctious labbie puppy after all!!
Here she is on the window sill, trying to figure out how to get down.
