Excellent! I am glad you did not have to insist it of them Season shmeson; it appears he is showing effects of being bitten long before. Very early on one can miss the first stage of the disease and then with incubation the second and third phase comes out. I hope this is the cause and that the treatment works. The dog may never be perfect for showing again but that is not all there is too it is thereThanks all!
Yes Sue, the vet phoned me yesterday that the test result will take at least one more day, but that he wanted to start treatment right away because a negative test is no guarantee at all that he doesn't have it.
Joâo was very sceptic when I told him (he said "speculation again and this means they don't have a clue what's wrong") but when I told him about your post he got more convinced
He does show a lot of symptoms of Lyme disease:
- the spleen is a lot too large
- slight anomality in the kidney function
- exhaustion
- sweating & slavering
- infections to ears and eyes that keep coming back after treatment
- stomach problems
- problems with jumping
They will treat him with Amoxicilline 500mg for 1 month.
Only thing I regret is that I'm talking about Lyme disease possibility to the vets since January already (real risk since we live in the woods) but they said that it wasn't the right season for a tick infection...

:lol: same here. GWH is the name hehe :rocker2:GW ( I just can't bring myself to call you AJ ) this house is also having modem problems so I disappear all the time when at home. And work has been way too busy to ahve time to post. Everyone keep the faith; me included :lol:
Well, seems like we all are pretty busy. No computer probs over here either (but the poor machine surely thinks it's on vacation )Martine, I hope the treatment will help the dog. I'm crossing my fingers.
Sue, work's been hectic here too, hence why I hardly appear here, and no, I don't have any modem or computer pb Only positive point is that the sun is back and it's been feeling like spring for a couple of days. It helps
What a worrying time for you: not only is he a "working" dog - you also become attached to him regardless of how he performs. Hope the vets can make him fit again!It was only when I took a video of the training and showed that to them that they realized there was something seriously wrong.
If he wouldn't have been a working dog, I wouldn't have noticed it. That's why I'm hoping we are in time to treat it without too many consequences afterwards
Pretty sure the treatment will help him; his future as a "working dog" is in doubt though. If I were in your position, I'd be worried indeed about what might happen if someone ignore your psychological attachment to the dog. Perhaps a frontal crash test ahead.If he wouldn't have been a working dog, I wouldn't have noticed it. That's why I'm hoping we are in time to treat it without too many consequences afterwards?? What do you think?
