Lyme Disease In Dogs, A Serious Matter For Everyone

Veterinary launches website to prevent people and their dogs to catch the lyme
disease, and gives information about this painful disease.

CALIFORNIA, Lyme disease is caused by an organism known as a spirochete, which is a
coiled rod-shaped bacterium and named Borrelia burgdorferi. It is passed to dogs and
people by deer ticks carrying the infection; the ticks get the infection from the
white-footed mouse, which acts as a carrier. LymeDiseaseSymptoms.org is a website
created by veterinary Herbert Goul to help pople getonline information about this
painful disease

"The only way a tick can transmit the bacteria is to remain attached to the animal's
skin for one to two days. Unfortunately, these ticks are very small and easily can
go unnoticed." Says Goul. In the website we find out that Lyme disease in dogs has
been found worldwide and in ancient Chinese medical literature they actually
describe a syndrome very similar to Lyme disease, thousands of years before Lyme ,
Connecticut was named. In the United States , more than 90% of the cases occur in
the Northeast, with California and Mississippi second. Lyme disease in dogs is
fairly common, but rarely seen in cats, although some cats have been infected with
it.

The main clinical signs include a sudden yet recurring lameness that may shift from
leg to leg. Sometimes this lameness is associated with a fever and depression.
Occasionally you will see swollen lymph nodes. The joints may be swollen, feel warm,
and it's very painful. The dog infected will usually walk stiffly with a hunched
back. Lyme disease in dogs is really very painful and they commonly are very
sensitive to touch and may cry out with even the slightest touch. Many dogs were
diagnosed with slipped discs in their neck and crying in pain and it was actually
Lyme disease causes muscle spasms in the neck and it only improved when they were
administered antibiotics. Sometimes you will see the classic red round target
lesion around a tick bite on your pet and within a few days they may show the signs
of lameness, fever and sensitivity to touch. If you suspect your pet has Lyme
disease, take them to the vet immediately for treatment.

Treatment involves the use of an antibiotic, such as doxycycline, for three to
four weeks.

There is a vaccine for the prevention of Lyme disease. Quick removal of a tick also
will help prevent Lyme disease because the tick must remain attached to the dog's
body for one to two days before the disease can be transmitted. Consult with a
veterinarian about the different tick prevention products that are available, as
they can be an effective way to prevent the disease. The sooner you start treatment,
the sooner your pet will be without pain. You can find more information on the web
