Yes. Lyme disease can be cured with anti-biotics if it is diagnosed early enough. If left untreated, it becomes harder to cure. There are also co-infections and other long-term symptoms that can be associated with Lyme disease.

I dont know about other pets, but for dogs YES

Treatment for dogs with Lyme disease may include:

•Antimicrobial therapy After being treated initially, there should be an improvement in the dog's condition within 48 hours.

•Antibiotic therapy

•Doxycycline, given orally every 12-24 hours is lipid soluble and is relatively inexpensive, but cannot be given to growing dogs. This antibiotic also treats other tick borne diseases.

•Other antibiotics, such as Cephalexin, Amoxicillin, and Tetracycline, are frequently used with much success.

•Antibiotic therapy does not eliminate the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, but does suppress the bacteria so that the symptoms subside. The bacteria will remain latent in the dog's body.

While antibiotics remain the primary treatment option for Lyme disease infections at an early stage, the challenge lies in addressing persistent symptoms of post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) in numerous cases.
