Technical information
Lyme Disease in Dogs Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which occurs in dogs worldwide. Transmission primarily occurs through tick bites, especially from the castor bean tick (Ixodes ricinus). Clinical symptoms may appear weeks to months after infection. Transmission and Epidemiology Ticks become infected with Borrelia by feeding on the blood of infected wild animals. Dogs can become infected through tick bites, with transmission of the pathogen usually occurring only after 16 to 24 hours of attachment. The risk of infection varies by geographic region and tick density. Symptoms Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs are often nonspecific and may appear weeks to months after infection. Common signs include fever, loss of appetite, swollen lymph nodes, and intermittent lameness due to joint inflammation. In some cases, kidney inflammation may occur, particularly in certain breeds such as Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical symptoms, medical history, and serological tests to detect antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi. However, it should be noted that a positive antibody test only indicates contact with the pathogen and does not necessarily mean there is an active infection. Therefore, serological test results should always be interpreted in the context of clinical signs. Treatment Treatment of Lyme disease in dogs generally involves antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin for a period of at least four weeks. Early therapy can relieve symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, anti-inflammatory medications may also be used to reduce pain and inflammation. Prevention Prevention of Lyme disease mainly includes tick control measures. These include the regular use of tick repellents, checking the dog for ticks, and promptly removing any ticks found. Although vaccines against Lyme disease are available for dogs, their use is debated and should be discussed individually with a veterinarian. References
