Phred I couldn't get your page to come up but I will try again later. When we took Ripley in for his neutering the vet first spoke to us about the Lyme vaccine. He said he was sort of pushing it because of the marked increase in the number of his furry patients who had it. It is a two part vaccine, given three weeks apart. Ripley got his first shot after his neutering and then three weeks later we took him and Bella in. He got shot #2 and Bella got shot #1. The thing I forgot to ask the vet is should we bother giving her shot #2 since she already is positive for the disease. I'm afraid I wasn't thinking too clearly today but I will ask him on Friday when I check back in.

I would certainly ask your vet if Lyme is a problem in Ohio, and for other Pet Talkers please do check with your vets. Maybe if I had used Frontline last fall she wouldn't be having to deal with this. What a shame that the vaccine was administered a little too late. If you don't opt for the vaccine I would certainly use Frontline if you have spotted ticks on your pets before or if you live in or near woods.
