He has no symptoms, and I will find out in a few days if he needs antibiotics. He is exhausted from the vet visit.
Lyme disease is a bitch, but very treatable. He’ll be okay. This will suck, but he’ll be okay.
I had Lyme Disease and it sucked, felt like a zombie walking through a sick foggy dream world until I got antibiotics. Luckily I noticed pretty quick it was from a deer tick. I hope your pupper gets treated and has a full recovery 😁
OP I went through this too. Dog had no symptoms and lived to be 14.5, which is great for a lab. Lots of love and vet visits, but Radar will be okay.
Wishing for a speedy recovery!!!
My pup also got Lyme disease. I thought it was the end, but she recovered so well and we got a few more years together. She was an English bulldog, so a few more years for them is a lot. I know bloodwork is a pain and pricey, but absolutely monitor his kidneys over time, keeping on top of kidney function with Lyme is super helpful. Even when the kidney values are low, there’s prescription diets that can help with everything. (I worked in vet medicine too, so know these things.)
Has their been any updates? Will your baby be okay?
I haven’t heard anything yet. :(
hugs
hopefully you can just do the antibiotics either way. They spring back after treatment.
Sending positive vibrations!
Only observation here, not a vet here but, other animals do not get the same symptoms as humans in fact deer are virtually immune to Lyme disease. Lyme disease in dogs tends to make them tired and listless. I’m sure they have sore joints too. Antibiotics clear up the disease better for dogs, if they can tolerate them, than humans.
