Lyme Disease in the Horse

Lyme disease is a bacterial illness caused by the bite of the 'deer tick' or the 'black legged tick'.

Symptoms may include:

[b] .. depression
[c] .. soreness in the legs
[d] .. loss of appetite
[e] .. restlessness
[f] .. fever
[g] .. swollen joints
[h] .. and or swollen glands
[i] .. Laminitis (founder)
[j] .. abortions in mares
[k] .. chronic weight loss.
[l] .. nervous system problems

A common blood test is used diagnosis and to detect antibodies of the bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi).

Lyme disease is typically treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs such as 'bute' and possibly medicines to help replace the normal intestinal bacteria that is killed by the antibiotics.

Your veterinarian will determine which course of action to follow
dependent on the diagnosis.
