Lyme's Disease Question

1864 Views 12 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  Miriam Wade
A friend who isn't an RTFer asked me to post this. Her 14 month old was recently diagnosed w/ Lyme's. Titer is 66, which vet says indicates "having the disease, as opposed to just exposure". The dog hasn't been vaccinated. She also shows no symptoms. There were a couple days of feeling a "little punky", but absolutely nothing since then.

Their home-visit vet is very circumspect of her requiring the doxycycline treatment and so I'm posting to try and get a general (vets especially please!) consensus of what is appropriate for this dog.

Thanks!

Treat it. Jet had Lyme that went undetected for awhile, he is now experiencing Chronic renal disease as a result of Lyme. Not very pleasant... I'd nip it in the butt asap. Jim
