More importantly, depending on how you view the world, be vigilant in checking one another.
Watched a lady die a slow painful death from Lyme disease a couple years ago. Another friend has been diagnosed with it as well. Very painful and life "sucking" real disease.
Be well.
p.s. I hope your dog is back to good health soon.

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!
