Hello. I am posting the following on behalf of SusannaF. Thank you!

1. Newman, 6, Male
2. Neutered
3. French Bulldog
4. 27lbs
5. Normal
6. Steve's Real Food
7. Up to date on vaccines
8. Sent 2 engorged ticks found on him to lab and one or both is positive for Lyme and Anaplasmosis
9. N/A
10. A few weeks ago, Newman had his accuplex test and was negative. This is prior to the 2 new ticks being found. About 3-4 years ago he was ill due to a positive Anaplasmosis test. At that time he had a fever, lethargy, and loss of appetite. He had elevated liver values at the time of his diagnosis. They are since normal
11. He is chronically on Denamarin. After we found the one tick, we started him on Ledum Palustre profilactically. We found a second tick a few days later
12. We are concerned of him being bitten again with a tick that is positive for Anaplasmosis when he has already had it and a positive Lyme tick. What else can we do? We are worry about his Anaplasmosis coming back. Is the Ledum enough to help with the Lyme. We understand a bite doesn't mean it has transmitted. Thanks
