Great work, Nora! Of course, we don't know if Lyme was the issue or not, but it doesn't really matter, right? She's well on the road to the good life, and in record time! Wow, 2 days is remarkable.
Then, imagine what she'd have gone through if she'd have landed on Dr. WhiteCoat's step instead of yours. Vaccinations for everything, flea and tick pesticides, heartworm pesticides, and his absolute favorite, antibiotics. Her immune system would have been thrown into high confusion, she'd have lost a significant lot of beneficial gut flora, and would she have gotten better in two days?? Highly unlikely.
Keep up the good work!
