In endemic areas (including Massachusetts), annual screening tests for Lyme disease are recommended. If your dog does develop clinical illness from Lyme disease, the most common signs are lameness, fever, lethargy, and enlarged lymph nodes. Clinical illness is expected 2-5 months after infection. The majority of dogs respond very well to antibiotic treatment with Doxycycline or Amoxicillin.
Saskatchewan Day is the 1st Monday in August, in line with the Civic holiday and is a statutory holiday. From the Saskatchewan Ministry of Labour: Indeed, the first Monday in August is a statutory holiday as designated in the Labour Standards Act.
A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work including school, are suspended or reduced. Generally, holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance. Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations. The degree to which normal activities are reduced by a holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type of job being held or even personal choices. The concept of holidays often originated in connection with religious observances.
