It's Lyme Disease

beltaineladyJust 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.
