Michele N. just lost her boy, Jester, to renal failure. The thought is it was caused by Lyme. He tested positive several times but was asymptomatic. At the time, the protocol was not to treat asymptomatic dogs. Bad call. She, Jeff and Jester went through hell the last few months.Red Dog Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913211067878523753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451055482896683277.post-68983415066533632172011-01-05T18:21:45.957-05:002011-01-05T18:21:45.957-05:00poor Bug!

Same size, same blue capsule, and the exact same mg. dosage.

I will consider us lucky. Have you had any recurrences of the Lyme? Also did you treat for 4 or 8 weeks? the tick list I am on really believes that treating for 8 weeks prevents relapse.

I feed the same as you, a combo of pre-packaged and other raw scraps. I rotate through a few brands to vary the nutrients, plus raw tripe on the weekends. I supplement with cold-pressed salmon oil and a supplement called Longevity.<br /><br />Both boys have Erlichia, Wilson has Lyme, and Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523449106100926340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451055482896683277.post-54439289988489783162011-01-05T10:59:52.527-05:002011-01-05T10:59:52.527-05:00Hi Taryn, I feed raw.

I have a friend who had lyme disease and it took them a long time to figure it out. By the time they did, she was in a wheelchair. She needed IV Abx for months. She did recover and is fine now. Well, thats my two cents. I hope Bug feels better soon.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378710392378543981noreply@blogger.com
