I second that. Our springer was infected with lyme last year. The good news is that it is much more easily treated in dogs. It was very tough to find her lame one morning put she was back to 100% after one dose of antibiotics.

One thing the vet told us is that frontiline (drops behind the head) don't work if the fur gets wet and remains useless until the dog dries. For a water dog at the lake........ We now use a tick collar and keep her fur very short.
