dogs get lyme disease. do whatever you need to do to protect your pets! (I'm sure you already know that!)
I had lyme disease last fall, it is not fun, i had to go to the hospital every day for 14 days for medication to be IV'd into my arm.
Gone undetected- Look up Amy Tan's experience- she was hallucinating because no one believed she could have gotten lyme in California. She did. She could have suffered permanent central nervous system damage (brain).
