Can you ever get rid of Lyme disease?
Yes, the active disease process can be stopped by antibiotics. The term chronic lyme disease is often used for patients where the disease is recurring. This is because the disease stays dormant or in remission once it is introduced to the bloodstream. It is still there but can remain inactive or dormant forever in some patients and then many patients have recurring Lyme for years. There are also many co-infections that are associated with Lyme Disease. One co-infection, Babesiosis, can not be treated at the same time that Lyme is being treated as they are treated differently. Therefore, when you treat one successfully, the other often reoccurs.

It is not necessary except in certain areas of the US, so speak to a Vet about its use. Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs include: # High fever # Swollen lymph nodes # Lameness # Loss of appetite # Inflamed joints # Lethargy Dogs get Lyme disease from very small deer ticks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. Preventive tick repellents and systemic medicines that provide protection against ticks should be used for dogs in areas where these ticks carrying the bacteria are found such as dogs along the Atlantic coast, those in New England states, in Oregon and California, and some Midwestern states. Treatment for infected dogs is usually antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.
