Guess what! there is a Lymes vaccine for dogs but not for humans. Soon they'll develop a canine Pow vaccine.
My dog just had a blood test done and tested positive for Lymes. Vet wanted to give her a vaccine. I said no way. I'm not paying for my dog to be a guinea pig.
But I thought they are talking about a disease worse than Lyme Disease.
We have our dog on NexGard since she got Lyme in Wisconsin from tick bite. We should have had her on it before that as a deterrent.
we live in rural SW Pennsylvania and took my mini schnauzer to groomer for hair cut...she found three DEER TICKS on him, and removed them and put one in a baggie to show me how very small they are, DEER TICKS are much smaller than regular wood ticks...she recommended we take him to vet for check up...and sadly it took three weeks for the area to heal, one area fur stayed discolored..he checked out OK..but was a scare...so we give them tick treatments and check them daily...
we have three dogs..and our Wheaten Terrier who is almost 13 yrs. old often get tick bites but we're able to remove them..so watch and check your pets if you live in an area that have a lot of deer...and we do...hubby get a couple every year...now I'm leery of processing them..we take them now to professional meat processing...
Scary for sure...and yes, humans get bit also..my hubby has several times..I've never to my knowledge..will be more alert now for sure...
Went through the same thing with my dog. If she already has the disease what good would a vaccine do? Fifty bucks to vaccinate a dog from a disease she already has? Yeah, I ain’t falling for that one.
lyme disease sucks. Hope you got the antibiotic for it but why give a vaccine when the dog already had the disease? Why get a rabies shot every year? Are there that many types of rabies? Just wondering.
