Hi Rick- I am enjoying your reports. A few points, however. I'm a veterinarian, and I think you would be well served to review the available information on Lyme disease in domestic dogs. A lot of dogs test positive for exposure, but we think very few every exhibit signs attributable to that exposure. I would not be surprised if the pattern is repeated in wild canids. Breitschwerdt at North Caroline State was doing research in the area some time ago, as was Johnson (I think) at Cornell's vet school. Also, the correct term is Lyme, not Lymes disease, based on naming conventions medicine.
Thanks for bringing these up. They are interesting questions. Ellen
