Each year, April is Lyme Disease in Dogs Prevention Month, and a second Lyme Disease Awareness Month with a different sponsor occurs in May.
During spring, deer ticks surface across North America. The deer tick is the primary source of Lyme disease, a bacterial infection when the tick bites a dog. Once the bacteria enter your dog's bloodstream, Lyme disease organisms infect your pet's entire body before settling into his joints.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include lameness, limping, and a high fever.
Lyme disease vaccinations do exist. See your vet.
Other actions you can take to minimize your dog's exposure to Lyme disease include:
Avoid walking through leaves and short trees in grassy, wooded, and sandy areas.
Inspect your dog for ticks after walks and remove any that you find.
Remove ticks with tweezers and gloves.
Never touch a tick with your own hands.
