I've just returned from the vet in Littleton NH, who is reporting another big tick year has started here already. One of my dogs is showing an elevated antibody bloodcount level for Lyme Disease, which probably means that he was exposed last summer. He hikes a lot. I had them on the anti-parasitical Revolution. It was not very effective towards the end of the summer. Revolution now no longer claims that it protects dogs against lyme-bearing ticks. I've moved to Frontline and Heartguard for this summer. I am also going to vaccinate the dogs for Lyme this year. Vets up here are beginning to recommend it as protocol for all dogs. 20% of the dogs they test now show positive for Lyme exposure. Ten years ago I never saw a tick on dogs in this area. Now they're crawling with them. I pulled a bunch off me last summer too.
