Be aware of Lyme disease

Lyme disease is rearing its head in Western Pennsylvania.  Veterinarians are seeing more cases this year than in recent years.  Lyme disease is a potentially fatal disease transmitted from ticks to both animals and humans.  Antibiotics can be used to treat the disease.  There is a vaccination that can protect your pets, but can cause serious adverse reactions.  Your veterinarian can tell you what course of action is best for your pet.
