I have learned Doxy does not cross the blood brain barrier very well, and another anti bac, minocycline, does and it makes sense to follow a doxy regime six months later with minocycline just to be sure.<br /><br />I DO NOT believe in the fairy tale of Long Term Lyme, this is the realm of idiots and the snake oil salesman, ( my opinion ).<br /> <br />As for DOGS, my last dog got lyme Vax all the time and still contracted Lyme and Anasplasmosis a couple times. She eventually DIED from a name brand flea and tick topical the damn vet gave her because of the very high Black LEGGED TICK ( deer tick ) concentration in my local Southern New Hampshire local. Google spooky the Pomeranian to see a couple YouTube video clips about her and some comments about this topical.<br /><br />I have been making my own Tick Tubes (google it) and putting 100% deet spray on my dog's COLLAR ONLY a couple time a week, and have found almost NO ticks on him this year, no lyme vax ever again, no topical flea and tick ever again. Save money and MUCH healthier for me and the dog.<br /> Dog Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376192910646365366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-52541181127784099552015-08-03T16:06:12.994-04:002015-08-03T16:06:12.994-04:00Having tested and treated (with positive results) ...Having tested and treated (with positive results) and just treated (with positive results) multiple dogs for Lyme we are now vaccinating using the newest vaccine (2009). We can see loss of mental and physical stamina in our working dogs when they have been infected; treatment yielded reversal of the loss in stamina within 2-3 days. <br /><br />Bacterin That Induces Anti-OspA and Anti-OspC Borreliacidal<br />Antibodies Provides a High Level of Protection against<br />Canine Lyme Disease<br />http://cvi.asm.org/content/16/2/253.full.pdf+html<br /><br />The consensus you posted was published prior to the launch of this newest vaccine. I also doubt most pet owners would see the symptoms we see in our working dogs; which means pet dogs would be asymptomatic with an infection that likely would cause symptoms in highly active dogs. I wonder if your dogs would show symptoms for the same level of infection where we see symptoms in our dogs.<br />PipedreamFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689373141070251132noreply@blogger.com
