Guest momto3greys Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Lyme Disease in man and canine http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/...osaic/lyme.html Thanks for the info. Griffin was bit about a week ago and we took him to the vet to get the tick removed. He seems to be fine except that he has become attached to me like glue. If I move he moves and he is also very restless. Do you think that I should take him back to be tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Three members of my family have had Lyme disease. The symptoms would not, I don't think, appear that quickly. I hope the vet showed you how to remove a tick yourself. Removing it as soon as possible is important. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

I know when we lived in NY and got a couple ticks, they were tested for Lyme disease so we knew if we had been exposed or not. My Mr Green Jeans recently finished his treatment for Lyme disease but from what I understand it was a blood test that showed he was positive and not symptoms. He was in foster care at the time so I don't know all the particulars... Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caro Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If it's only been a week since the tick was removed you can still check the site of the bite for the bullseye rash. A positive bite would have a rash by now. If the rash is present then you can safely say that he has Lymes disease. If there is no bullseye rash, then he's probably ok. If you're still unsure then you should just take him in and have a blood test done. The rash is pretty obvious. White in the center and red on the outside... usually about the size of a silver dollar. Also, was it a deer tick? they're really really tiny and brown. If it was a big fat grey tick then it wasn't a deer tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess getting tested is the only way to know for sure and the only way to really put the fears to rest. That's also good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
