Lyme Disease

Post by HarrysMom »

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew what if any the long term effects of Lyme disease, I found out Harry has it and is on Doxie for it, I was just curious about the long term effects. The vet says he will be fine and I am sure he will be Im just curoius . Thanks

Willow has it too. The biggest thing was that it MIGHT have caused her immune disease. The other thing was that it can effect their joints. But, if you've caught it early the less chance of problems due to it. If it's let go I've been told it can cause more serious issues like kidney problems.

my neighbors are the type of people to keep their dogs in an outside kennel. They died of lymes disease. I imagine they didn't even know they were sick until it was so obvious and by then it was too late. I am glad you caught it early so it can be treated
