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

There is. I think he may have been exposed before I got him. I adopted him before the shelter even did his shots and stuff so he didn't have any protection until he was in my care. He was found wandering the wilderness and taken to the shelter, so he probably got lyme from wandering.
Poor thing, I'm glad he has a loving family now. I once found a golden retriever wandering the forest while hiking in Indiana. She had so many ticks on her we had to take her to an emergency vet (since it was Sunday) to get them off. Luckly she was microchipped and we found her family who has been looking for her for over a week at the time.
