Could also be limes. I had something similar with a 9 year old Aussie. He
picked up a tick on teh Fla circuit when I was showing another dog [he went
everywhere with me]. About 4 months later we started seeing a strange hitch
in his gait in the rear. My vet couldn't see it but I lived with the dog.....
We ran a tick panel and sure enough... LIMES positive. I'd run the entire
tick panel first............

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Need suggestions young bitch with limb problems ,
weight loss
Hi Guys
A friend of ours called me today, concerned about his two y/o intact
bitch. Â A few weeks ago, she decided she didn't want to eat , so he
immediately thought "bad food" Â changed the food, no problem she has eaten
very well , 2x a day ever since.
She was a little lame in the rear, wobbly, but good other than that.
Xrays negative for dysplasia or injury.
She got much better, then the other day she was let out to play etc and she
came back trembling, weak in the hind and now also in a
front leg, and with a lot of muscle wasting having gone on.
She eats normally.
She has perfect poops
She has not vomited or shown signs of digestive upset other than the failure
to eat one day.
She has not been exposed to toxins, sprays, fleas, ticks, or recently turned
up dirt.
We are at a complete loss for an answer.
She is having blood work done, and her owners are very concerned. Â Any
help/suggestions you can give that may save them
time and money on testing would help?
Anyone heard of this before?????? Â I am just stumped.
Thank you all in advance
Kathy
