Our Staffy, Finn, is experiencing stiffness, pain, and difficulty moving his head to look up or yawn. He also yelped when our Boston Terrier jumped on him. We found a tick on his neck and removed it, but we are concerned about the tick bite. What could be causing his symptoms and what should we do?

My dog, Pepper, a 5-year-old Dachshund mix, has been limping and showing signs of discomfort, including hesitancy to jump or stand on her hind legs, occasional shaking, and a recent incident where she yelped and lost control of her bladder during a jump. She tested positive for Lyme disease three months ago and completed a course of doxycycline, which initially improved her condition. However, her symptoms have returned, and she is now lethargic, eating less, and showing sensitivity in her armpits. What could be causing her symptoms, and what steps can be taken to alleviate her discomfort until she can be seen by a vet?
