Oh Pam. I do hope Bella gets to feeling better, But also even if she had been on frontline doesnt mean she wouldn't get it. Frontline is a preventive. I keep frontline on my dogs all year long once a month. They still get ticks on them. I live in a heavy flea and tick area. Lots of deer in my yard all the time. I also use frontline spray on the horses. My boss and his son both have had lymes disease also. So dont be to hard on yourself.(which I know is easier said than do) With all the well wishes here and prayers she will be fine. Keep her all comfpy. all the gang here says get well soon.
