Hi, sorry - to be clearer She had the lyme vacc as a puppy. She got (not Lyme) another tick disease at a 1yr.plus....But also she is different from the other dogs, nervous- sensitive to what is going on. I guess over sensitive would describe it more. She startles easily..new situations..new people.. Now I have been reading everything I can about this. Lyme vaccs (which she got again at 1 plus yrs. old) can cause nervous system problems- just as the tick diseases can! Anyway whatever caused it she seems to really develop it worse as an adult. I would say around the time she got the tick disease...before that just a bit over sensitive. She had a litter of beautiful puppies and was a great mom. All the pups were fine and don't have a problem- very stable. But am thinking that with hormones etc..reproduction may not be the best for her. She was a very calm mother and seemed much better. After the litter she had another Lyme vacc(1,1/2yrs. or so)..now she is over sensitive again. She has never been hit or abused verbally. Very sad. So was thinking of the pheramone collars.
