🐎 Curious about how to keep your four-legged friend safe from Lyme disease? Regularly inspect your horse for ticks, especially in high-risk areas like wooded trails or tall grass. Prompt tick removal within 24-48 hours can significantly reduce the risk of Lyme transmission. Keep pastures well-maintained by mowing grass, clearing brush, and minimizing areas where ticks thrive. Creating a tick-unfriendly environment helps limit exposure. Familiarize yourself with early symptoms of Lyme disease in horses, such as lameness, fever, lethargy, and swollen joints. Early detection can lead to swifter treatment and better outcomes.
Stay informed, stay vigilant, and together, let's keep our equine partners happy, healthy, and Lyme disease-free! 🌟
