just one other thought, re the mixed results for lyme disease test.
I had lyme disease (three times now) but the first time the doc misdiagnosed
the problem, (initial illness put me in bed for 10 days...it was the sickest
I've been in my entire life...I lost 20 lbs in 4 days!), the aches and pains
from the 'flu' did not go away so 3 months later I went back in and got a
lyme test...it was negative. 6 months later I went back in for another
test, again negative. It was not until I went in one more time (with a
growing list of complaints) at 10 months from the initial illness before I
had a possitive test. I will never forget the doctors message on my
answering machine "by golly you really do have lyme disease". I just want
to point out that a sick animal can sure produce a negative test!
So my advice is, if you cannot resolve the problem and it still exists a few
months from now, I would re run the lyme (and anaplasmosis) tests.
The problem with the vaccine, is that this bug is very unique in that it
constantly changes or morphs its protein coat which is what the body's
defence system uses to recognize it. So it is next to impossible to produce
a vaccine that is going to prepare the body to recognize a bacteria that is
constantly changing its appearance. Likewise this is why early tests can
miss the problem. Also animals (and humans) that have had lyme before may
react badly to the vaccine.
