Glad Myka is responding well to the antibiotics.

As far as tick disease being rare in B.C. this article written in 2003 from UNBC says there were 60 cases to date in B.C. and 20 of them did not travel outside of B.C.

Three people in Kelowna were in hospital in Kelowna in 2007...

Yes, we live in Tick Central. As far as we know, everyone has kicked the anaplasmosis.

But now we have 8 with leptospirosis. The joys of country living...sigh...

Woah! I just saw this post of yours! I'll definately get her tested if she flares up after these anti-biotics wear off.



I just posted pics of Myka in her new harness in the photo thread (link previous).
