Lyme disease can wreak havoc with the immune system, and when Pie had it, he had some odd skin lesions that went away immediately with treatment. Cornell now has a new, very accurate blood test for Lyme, and treatment with oral doxycycline is cheap and easy.

They say it might get worse before it gets better with itchiness as the worms die off...<br /><br />I have read about this back in college, and research then said they can be pretty resistant during their cycle if you dont catch it at the right time with the right wormer - I think its equimaxx that suppose to really whomp them...if you havent already, you can read more about it here <br />http://www.merckmanuals.com/vet/integumentary_system/helminths_of_the_skin/onchocerciasis.html<br /> <br />and youre not the only one with this issue - http://thehorsesback.com/fight-against-neck-threadworms/<br /><br />If this is the case with her, YAY! Because you can actually get her on a different schedule of worming to really keep them at bay and control them...I know that most vets are advocating worming now every 6-8 weeks as long as the flys are out...Janice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521506189961896893.post-80664048756197134822013-11-08T04:26:06.728-05:002013-11-08T04:26:06.728-05:00That is really good hearing about Berlin!
