Question by Steve R: I think I’ve been infected with Y2K. Does anyone know the symptoms?
Or maybe it’s swine flu, avian flu, west nile virus, lime tick disease, flesh eating virus or killer bees. How do I know which media frenzy has gotten the best of me? Oh wait, it’s a pedophile online trying to get into my pants.

You, definitely, exhibit all the symptoms of either Y2K or possibly you’re experiencing a “MAC ATTACK”…Take two Tylenol (caps) try and get some rest, and if in the morning it’s 1982, give my office a call. That’s 867-5309…ask for Tommy.

Question by Antonio: Does anyone know the signs of Lyme disease for a dog?
I found a tick on my dog yesterday and it has biten him and left a red mark on him. I am bringing him to the Vet this afternoon.

Best answer:

Answer by Matt O
Deer ticks (carry the disease) are much smaller than youre average tick. So if it was typical size I wouldnt worry. Alot of dogs have reactions to ticks, redness, slight swelling which are not really a big deal. I believe a red ring is cause for concern and lethargic behavior is a typical symptom. Advanced symptoms can even be partial paralysis. Id go to the vet anyway hopefully they can educate you for the future b/c ticks arent really that big of a deal. I pull some off my dog every year and unless I find a small one or strange looking one Im not concerned and never had any problems. Hope everything goes okay.
