Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics,
because the disease is caused by a bacterium that is introduced
to your pet through a bite from a tick carrying the disease.
Antibiotics will be taken for a long period of time and some times
and may not be very effective if your pet has had the disease for
a long period of time. Sometimes, your veterinarian can switch the
antibiotics so see if that may cure the disease. But, if your pet
does get bitten again, the disease can reoccur.
So, the best treatment for lyme disease is in the prevention. Ticks
can be found in many different areas and are just waiting for the
next warm body. Keeping your pets out of thick brush and high grass
will help them from getting ticks, but there are many products on
the market today that can in fact keep ticks off of your pets or
kill these pests if your pet already has ticks.
Bathing your pet or grooming your pet can also help in preventing
ticks the time to attach to your pet. After, your pet has been outdoors,
comb him completely and check his skin. This can be a long process
if you dog or cat has long hair. But, it will be well worth the
time.
If you do find a tick on your pet and it is moving around then
you will be able to remove it very easily. Be sure to kill the tick.
If the tick has attached it is very important it remove it properly.
You can use tweezers or your fingernails. Grab the tick close to
your pet's skin and pull straight out very firmly. Do not allow
any of the contents from the tick on your skin or your pet's skin.
Lyme disease can be transmitted through a cut on the skin. And yes,
humans can also contract lyme disease.
Although Lyme Disease 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.
