I figured I would come here before I call my vet in a panic.
This weekend we were up visiting an area that is known for ticks and supposedly ticks were spotted in the area. (I did not see any my self)
I noticed on my dog some bug bites that looked like a small red dot with a red outer circle (like a bull’s-eye) but no ticks. I figured I would watch the bites for any changes. On a later "tick check" I saw no ticks and the bites had completely faded (less then a few hours later) my dogs are all on flea/tick medication.
Later that day I picked up a magazine that had an article about ticks and Lyme disease. I couldn't tell if the article was saying the bull’s-eye looking bite was the start of Lyme disease or just a tick bite.
Should I call my vet and have them check for Lyme disease or just watch them for now?
