It is hard to get
an early diagnosis of lyme disease in animals including your own
dog. The first sign of lyme disease in humans is a rash, well; dogs
do not develop this rash. Lyme disease is also not one of the first
illnesses that the veterinarian looks for when you take your dog
in for a visit. Many other common illnesses can produce some of
the same symptoms, so it can be hard to detect.
Lyme disease does affect each dog differently as it
does with humans. Many dogs that are affected with lyme disease
seem to be in pain and many stop eating. They may even run very
high fevers. Lyme disease affects the entire body and some dogs
may become lame and then even if untreated the lameness can disappear
but can reappear later on. Your dog may not even show any signs
of an illness for a long period of time and in fact have lyme disease,
and then the symptoms can show up a year later.
Diagnosis of lyme disease can be done with a blood
test. But, if your dog has had the illness for a long time even
confirming that it is, in fact lyme disease can be hard to prove.
In many cases, the antibodies that are present when a dog has lyme
disease may have already disappeared or have not been created yet.
So, of course, the best way to go to ensure
that your dog does not contract lyme disease is in the prevention.
Always groom your dog after they have been outdoors in and around
where ticks live, high grass, thick brush, or even in the woods.
Although Lyme Disease in dogs has become the
most common tick-borne disease in North America, thankfully it is
treatable with immediate treatment from a flea and tick control
product such as Frontline.
Soon your dog will
return to full fitness and happiness.
