All 3 of my dogs have been diagnosed with lyme disease.I have not seen a relapse since being treated but it was expensive to treat.This year I was also diagnosed with Lyme. The deer population needs to be thinned out in my area but hunters have a hard time finding public access to hunt.

I asked the vet about the vaccination but was told not to bother because it is not proven to be 100% preventative,also it must be given before your dog is even exposed to any ticks.Most dogs have been tick bit and may be carrying the disease for years before the first physical signs appear.
