Bad scare with our Border Collie. Last evening she didn't want supper, eventually ate it. Lost it again at midnight. This morning had a temperature of 40 degrees C. She is in the Vet's care right now on IV and antibiotics for what they suspect is another battle with anaplasmosis. GD ticks.

Yes she has two types of flea and tick medication and treatments, but the disease can be passed to the host in less than a half hour. We also are using 'Tick Tubes" along our walking trail. Those are cardboard tubes stuffed with cotton which is treated with permethrin. The idea is mice take the cotton for nesting material and the chemical kills the smaller stage of tick which feed on mice.
Hoping for a call from the office with good news.
