skippy's check up

Skippy had his annual check up today. He really did not like the shots, but got a very good report on is health from his veterinarian. He is up to 55 pounds! A great weight. (Skippy has been working on putting on a few pounds.) The only issue is that he has been Lyme positive for about a year now. It stays at a low level and I don't notice any symptoms (lameness, lethargy, loss of appetite), but these symptoms are fairly vague and its hard to tell. So the vet did a quantitative test, which came out in the positive range. She said we should go ahead and treat with 30 days of antibiotics (amoxicillin). Skippy's good a taking the pills and after a day or two seems very chipper and comfortable. Who knows, maybe he had some low level symptoms. I think its good to go ahead and get him treated.
