Doctors kept saying it was "growing pains". After a month of that, I got frustrated so we switched doctors. She had lymes disease and to this day, nobody ever saw or found the bulls eye on her. She had two months of treatment to get rid of it. Talk about scary. Glad you caught it in time and taking precautions!LB @ Bullets And Biscuitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243995967326067900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-81427038613199097032012-06-08T00:34:35.677-04:002012-06-08T00:34:35.677-04:00Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry!

Hit him with some Culturelle for Kids after the antibiotics run their course to restore the good bacteria to his intestines, as well as plain yogurt and kefir (smoothies!). I hate antibiotics but would do the same thing for my kids - you made the right decision. Also, even though he may have been bitten away from home, guineas are great for tick control. We haven't found many on ourselves this year.Laura @ Green Legacy Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702832151439882306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-57721526389651216672012-06-06T00:49:30.287-04:002012-06-06T00:49:30.287-04:00I'm so happy you noticed that spot and got him...I'm so happy you noticed that spot and got him to the doctor.

Ticks are a big problem here too-we have to keep the dogs on Frontline, but even so, the ticks drop off and we find them in the house. Ticks are such nasty horrible things! Unfortunately, they are part of summer. I'm definitely going to check out Bug Bandit. Stuart and Amy are headed to Maryland in a couple weeks and ticks are even worse there. <br /><br />Talk to you soon:)Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-58025293037457663302012-06-05T12:30:43.336-04:002012-06-05T12:30:43.336-04:00Thank goodness you spotted it- and got right in to...Thank goodness you spotted it- and got right in to see the doc.
