Lyme Disease in Horses.

How many of us have heard about lyme disease? Well if you haven't you better do your research because unfortunately it is more prevalent then we think! Not only is is common in horses but many other animals as well.

I want to speak from a personal note about lyme. My horse was diagnosed about two years ago with lyme disease. Back then lyme was not so common so when your horse had an outbreak you had absolutely no idea what the problem was. Im going to tell you some of his symptoms... Loss of appetite, fever, and soreness were all things that he displayed. It was probably one of the scariest days of my life. He wouldn't eat or even move. We called the vet as soon as we noticed his temperature rising and he was quickly put on antibiotics and diagnosed.

The morel of the story here is if you ever see your horse, dog , or cat acting a little strange don't just brush it off. Lyme can be a life threatening thing is not treated. This horrible disease that is caused by a tiny tick can often times leave your animals paralyzed. So obviously this is the first thing that came to my mind when i found out my Caleb had lyme.

Fortunately his treatment wen very well and he is now back to his normal health after a few long months in recovery. If anyone has any questions about lyme or thinks there animal may be a victim please feel free to comment and ask any questions !!:)
