		<description>Dear Dr Spector,

One question on the Halo  Herbal Dip product-- as it is made from essential oils-

 can it be used as a spray in addition to using a monthly topical tick/flea treatment?

 If so, that would give him extra protection.

Thank You,

		<description>Dear Dr. Spector,

 Thank you so much for your prompt response to our concerns about our Old English Sheepdog.

 We appreciate your suggestions on Halo products to assist him.

 He has not been vaccinated for Lyme disease.  He had a test which confirmed
 that it is Lyme. About 1 1/2 months ago, he had a tick embedded on his
 right front leg. He started the Lyme symptoms last week. 

I spoke with his breeder last night, and she has several dogs who are also currently
being treated for Lyme. Our are is very high risk.

Thank you for the information on immune mediated polyarthritis. We are monitoring
him closely and have a follow up visit with our Vet.

We've added a little Spots stew to his meals, and he loves it!  It has really helped
us to make taking medication a joy. He has had no vomiting or other problems
taking the antibiotic.   

We will keep you updated from time to time. We are very happy that the Petco in
our area carries your products. I have also ordered Ms. Brown book-Whole Pet Diet.

Thanks to you and the staff at Halo for the support you have given us in our
first experience with this disease.

All the best,
