“Your dog is considered to have Lyme disease if he tests positive for Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies, and shows symptoms known to be associated with Lyme disease. Antibodies are substance produced by the body’s immune system in response to a foreign invader, here Borrelia burgdorferi, and are designed to attack the foreign invader,” said Dr. Daniel Lauridia, DVM, who is Chief Veterinarian for DoggedHealth. “There are six tests available to make a diagnosis of Lyme disease. The most frequently used tests are each designed to detect the presence of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. However, there are also two tests sometimes used in which the organism itself is identified. Our goal is to arm people with the knowledge they need to make educated decisions about the health of their dogs. It doesn’t matter if you have a Yorkshire Terrier, a Shih Tzu mix, a Golden Retriever mix or a Maltese, you will find the answers you need.”
