Well, we finally have an answer to what has been going on with Sandy. The vet just called with the results from the tick panel and it has been confirmed that she has Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever! She will start antibiotics today and continue them for 3 weeks! The vet said that she SHOULD, after completing the meds, be immuned to the disease. But, she won't rely too heavily on that.

We will see how it goes! Now we just have to try to get her to eat enough to take the meds because without food, it will only make her sick! We will know in about 6 months if all is okay!

Thank you again to all who helped me along the way!
