This week we recieved a dog from the NBSPCA who had been found in pretty bad shape a few weeks ago. After a trip to the local veterinarian and some blood work, it was discovered that Huey has Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is caused by ticks who carry it and it can be debilitating with no treatment.
Huey is on medication and is doing VERY well! His message is clear...PLEASE talk to your vet about flea and tick medication! Do NOT buy over the counter products.
Spring is just around the corner...please help protect your companion!

Both of my co-worker's dogs contracted lime disease last summer. Sadly, one of her dogs died from it and the other is still recovering. My Mabel will be vaccinated every spring that's for sure!
