I brought in a rescue/foster 18m/o Border Collie 4 weeks ago who was unable to sit after 3 days of coming into my house. He came to me tick free but had hundreds of Northern California coastal ticks covering him when he came to the shelter. He also came into rescue with pneumonia so we were unable to get an x-ray to confirm our initial suspicions of being hit by a car. 3 weeks later we gave him an x-ray during his neuter and he showed signs of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, we initially thought maybe malnutrition, poor blood flow, auto-immune or congenital, we never had a known Lyme's diseas
