Here is a PVC file that may be helpful. -Admin

By Deb Haines Recently there have been many nutrition related questions on PVC. Rather than the veterinarians spending time replying to every single one, we thought it would be best to post a file …

Hello, I just wanted to share my experience/story with you in hopes that it might help somebody else one day.

About four weeks ago, I noticed this large red mark on me and thought maybe it was just a spider bite or something. Two weeks after that, it turned into a huge bull’s-eye rash.
I knew almost immediately that it was most likely Lyme disease from a tick. 😞

I immediately went to a walk-in clinic and was sent for bloodwork and was put on antibiotics for two weeks. About a week after that, it came back positive for Lyme disease. I must’ve picked up a tick when I was walking in Pickering in the long grassy area. I did not feel the tick bite this time. (I’ve been bit by numerous ticks before and have always removed them quite quickly).

So I just wanted to bring awareness if you see a big red mark on you, perhaps it’s best to get it looked at right away. (don’t wait two weeks like I did). The Redmark did not really hurt, but it did feel warm to the touch and had a tingling feeling to it.

I’m to follow up with an infectious disease specialist soon … really hoping the antibiotics worked and that I’m all clear now 🤞

Edit to add: I never did see, feel or find this tick on me this time. It all started with the red mark.

So… I can honestly say I’ve never seen a cat do one of these food puzzles before. 🤷🏼‍♀️
This is one smart cat. He’s also very food motivated, so that helps 😉
