Lyme Disease Awareness Month occurs each year in May. Another Lyme Disease Awareness Month focused on canine owners runs in April.
Each spring, deer ticks surface across North America. The deer tick is the primary source of Lyme disease, a bacterial infection that manifests after a tick bites an animal. The bacteria enter the animal's bloodstream and settle into its joints.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include lameness, limping, and a high fever.
A vet must administer Lyme disease vaccinations.
Other actions you can take to minimize exposure to Lyme disease include:
Avoid walking through leaves and short trees in grassy, wooded, or sandy areas.
Inspect your pet for ticks after walks and remove any that you find.
Remove ticks with tweezers and gloves.
Never touch a tick with your own hands.
