Sorry I am so late finding this thread. I am glad Pam was up and online at that time in the night/morning. My first thought was Lyme disease also (again being from NJ it is pretty common). I did not look through the old thread, but they sure do seem to have made great advances in treating the disease in the past 10 years or so. Don't forget to let us know how you make out at the Vet's office, Jennifer.
