He has no symptoms, and I will find out in a few days if he needs antibiotics. He is exhausted from the vet visit.

My vet asked me if he had any of the dog symptoms and she explained them. He has none of them, thankfully.

I got him a heartworm test so he can be on a specific worming medication and the rest came back positive for lyme. The working medication is a preventative and needed because both of my dogs keep getting parasites from eating dirt.
