How is Lyme Disease transmitted?
Lyme disease is primarily transmitted by deer ticks, known as blacklegged ticks.

How can my dog be infected with Lyme Disease?
The deer tick can transmit bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme Disease. Your dog is at a higher risk of contracting the disease if the tick has been feeding on your dog for more than 24 hours.

What are signs of Lyme Disease?
-lameness
-lethargy
-swollen lymph nodes

Signs of Lyme disease may appear as late as 5 months after your dog as been bitten by an infected tick.

How do we test for Lyme Disease?
The majority of dogs will not show clinical signs that’s why when your pet gets a heartworm test at LaSalle Animal Hospital – we do a combination test - Accuplex 4, it tests for current and past antigens/antibodies for heartworm, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. A small amount of blood is all that is needed.

Measure your dog’s risk:
Have you seen or heard of ticks on people or pets in your area?

Is your dog likely to go into tall grass, woodsy areas, camping, or travel to areas where Lyme disease is present?

Do you live in an area with deer ticks and/or where there are cases of Lyme disease in animals or humans?

If you answered Yes, your pet may be at high risk of Lyme Disease, Lyme vaccination for your dog may be recommended.

Are you falling for a common heartworm misconception? Read on and get the facts.

Myth: Monthly preventive medication is a hassle.

Fact: The best way to deal with heartworm is to prevent it in the first place, and that’s not hard to do.

Heartworm prevention comes in both oral and topical formulas, so you and your veterinarian can decide which method is most convenient for you and your pet.

Myth: Why bother with prevention? I can just treat heartworm if my dog gets it.

Fact: Treating a heartworm infection, especially a severe one, isn’t as easy as you might think. Treatment can be very costly and can be quite taxing on your pets’ lungs and other organs.

Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes - so warm, muggy areas are hotbeds. If a mosquito carrying heartworm larvae bites your dog – one bite is all it takes!

Myth: If my dog is on heartworm prevention, they don’t need to be tested.

Fact: Preventive treatments are incredibly effective, but no preventive is 100% effective, and since dogs with early infection can be asymptomatic, annual testing is always recommended.

Testing is very easy; your vet just needs to take a small sample of your dog’s blood which is sent to a lab for testing.
