You can probably get her checked for the cost of an office visit to get an idea what you are looking at. If you have a way to get to it, Pine Meadow vet has a Groupon for a super cheap office visit / exam OLDMAN – check especially along the spine, the base of the skull and in /around the ears.

These may appear at different stages of the disease. A trip to the vet is advised for correct diagnosis and treatment. Because your dog runs in the woods and is therefore exposed to a number of tick bites, this is certainly a possibility for her. Good luck with your pup.

It's very rare - but possilble. It's recommended to vaccinate horses but not "cost effective" to do the same for people!!! Maybe OldMan does not have the $300 or more to consult a vet

I have read that ticks may cause the same symptoms and since she's a runner, runs through the woods for days and comes home full of ticks. I pick off all I can find but still, she seems a little better but still having troubles.
