Pet Tips
How To Treat Lyme DiseaseLyme disease is most commonly treated with antibiotics; this is because the disease is caused by a bacterium that is often introduced to your pet through a bite from a tick carrying the disease. Antibiotics will need to be taken for a long period of time and in some cases may not be very effective, this will depend on the length of time pet has had the disease. If your pet does not respond well to the prescribed antibiotics, your veterinarian can switch the type and or dosage of antibiotics so see if that may cure the disease. If your pet is bitten by an infected tick again, the disease can reoccur. The best treatment for Lyme disease is often in the prevention. Ticks can be found in just about everywhere and are just waiting for the next warm body to pass by. Keeping your pets out of thick brush and high grass will help prevent them from getting ticks, if this is not realistic there are many products on the market today that can keep ticks off of your pets or kill these pests if your pet already has ticks. Bathing and or grooming your pet can also help in preventing ticks, doing so regularly will shorten the time they have to attach to your pet. After, your pet has been outdoors, comb or brush him completely and check his skin for any ticks. This can quite a long time if you dog or cat has long hair. But, it will pay off in the long run. If a tick is found on your pet and it is still moving around removal should be very easy. Be sure to kill the tick. If the tick has already attached it is very important that you remove it properly. You can use tweezers or your fingernails. Grab the tick as close to your pet’s skin as possible and pull straight out very firmly. Do not allow any of the contents from the tick to get on your skin or your pet. Lyme disease can also be transmitted through a cut on the skin. And yes, humans can also contract Lyme disease.Share this article on How To Treat Lyme Disease with friends.
