In dogs, treatment acts factIf you've ever known anyone who's contracted Lyme disease, then you probably know that treatment can be a long and complicated process in humans. Vets don't always treat Lyme disease in dogsIt may seem counterintuitive, but a Lyme diagnosis for your pet doesn't always mean that the vet is going to treat your pet with antibiotics. The symptoms aren't necessarily what you'd expectWithout question, the most well-known symptom of Lyme disease in humans is the distinctive, circular bull's-eye rash that many patients develop between a week and a month after they're bitten.
If you show any symptoms of Lyme disease and have had a tick bite, live in an area with Lyme disease, or have recently traveled to an area with Lyme disease, seek medical help for a healthcare professional as soon as possible. For those concerned about Lyme Disease, more information can be found online from the World Health Organisation and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is passed to humans through the bites of infected ticks. Preventing tick bites can prevent Lyme disease, as well as other tick-transmitted diseases.
