Lyme Disease

Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is one of the most common tick-transmitted diseases in the world.  Main symptoms include recurrent lameness due to inflammation of the joints.  There may also be a lack of appetite and depression.

Prevention of Lyme Disease
If possible, avoid allowing your dog to roam in tick-infested environments.  In addition to grooming your dog daily and removing ticks when found, talk to your veterinarian about tick prevention and whether the Lyme vaccine is right for your dog.
