If your dog just tested positive for a tick-borne disease and you're wondering what that result actually means, this episode is for you.When our dog Milka came back positive for Ehrlichia, we were handed a doxycycline prescription on the spot. We went home, did more research, and with expert support chose a different path. What happened over the next three weeks completely changed how we think about tick-borne disease in dogs.In this conversation with Julie Anne Lee — founder of Adored Beast and previous owner and practitioner of some of the most established holistic veterinary clinics in North America — we cover what a positive SNAP 4Dx test actually tells you (and what it doesn't), how to think through the antibiotic decision without pressure, and the exact natural support protocol we used with Milka through her Ehrlichia recovery. Julie also shares her personal experience navigating Lyme disease herself, including the one course of doxycycline she wishes she hadn't taken.If you're navigating this right now, download The Complete Flea + Tick Protection Guide — it walks you through what to do after a tick bite and how to make more confident decisions for your dog.The products we used to support Milka's immune system through her recovery: probiotics, Vital Defense, and medicinal mushrooms, are all available at pawdega.us.This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary guidance.Support the showVisit PAWDEGA.us and start your pet wellness journey today.Sign up for our newsletter and get 10% off your first PAWDEGA order, pet wellness tips, and more!FOLLOW@pawdega@charlypruden@larrypruden
