It's Lyme Disease

[beltainelady]

Just talked to the vet, and all the tests came back normal except Lyme. He's never had a Lyme vaccination, because it's not been proven to be effective in all cases. He's showing the symptoms of a Lyme infection, including all the weird neurological ones. I'll be picking up a prescription for Doxycycline, which is filled for free at Publix and he'll be on it for 30 days, then we'll get another titer done.

While it's not good news, it's a lot better than hearing his blood tests are all normal and it's a possible brain tumor or something that's not treatable.

I am SO relieved, and now we can work on killing the nasty buggers in him and get my bouncy baby back. I had Lyme Disease once, and I had it for a long time before ever showing the signs. It's possible he picked it up back in PA (where we had LOTS of deer).

Oh thank the Gods my baby will be all right. Thank you all for your prayers and energy workings. He could probably still use them, though, until the meds kill off the damned sickness.

Start him on Chondrotin Glucoseamine as well.

Oh thank gods for something curable. Lyme disease is not a happy thing, but I'm so glad that it is not worse.

I'm happy to hear the news. Hope he gets better quickly!

Get some probiotics or yogurt for him, too, as the antibiotics will affect his gut just like it would do to a human.

And give his big ol' schnozolla a smooch from me.
