if you did a tick panel before and she was fine, and there haven't been ticks, then probably you are fine. My recommendation (based on dealing with hundreds of hounds since 1996) is joint supplements (high quality, correct dose) and also if you want, the Adequan. I don't usually go to adequan until they are about 11 or 12, and have been on joint supplements, yucca for years. I also use acupuncture and cold laser as they age.

Tick disease present in a variety of ways. A dog can be fatigued, depressed, wounds aren't healing, limping - the list goes on. A tick panel from Protatek Labs is worth it. They do a 4-panel and give a discount to hounds. It's been 5 years since I did one, against the advice of a vet - and my guy has Rocky Mt Spotted Fever. He was a Florida dog who raced in Iowa. During full on greyhound rescue and adoption in the late 1990's and 2000's, I did them on every dog from a tick infested region.

Yucca - best natural anti-inflammatory I've ever used 3. Acupuncture 4. Cold Laser to name a few Greyhound Gang has used successfully for almost 20 years. Regarding fish oils. check your labels because not all fish oils are created equal. You want a minimum of 5 to 1 - Omega 3 - 6. Too much Omega 6 (which is in kibble) is NOT good.
