Ticks Suck, literally and figuratively....
...found a big fat one on the floppy ear of our Golden two weeks ago. Suddenly, this past Saturday, she was limping...got worse as the day went on and by Sat night, she couldn't stand up. Took her to emergency vet yesterday AM...couldn't walk, lethargic, etc. Blood test showed that she has Anaplasma, which is a tick-borne illness, in the Lyme family. A month-long course of antibiotics ahead, but luckily, after just a couple doses, she is now able to get up and walk at least a little bit.
Protect your dogs and yourselves!
