How you can help
🕊💐Dear friends family and neighbors💐🕊
Lyme nephritis Killed my Baby Girl caused by a Deer Tick.
Wazzle aka Jazmine got bit by a tick and it had lime disease.
It was in her ear for about a week they estimated, went right into her bloodstream shut down her kidneys within 72 hours of me finding it Friday and killed her.
She was playing n acting happy and everything once I found it and got it off her.
Then Boom.
Sunday night she was gone.
There was nothing more I or the doctors could do for her. I tried everything. So did they and it was too late.
Less common but serious complication associated with Lyme disease causes kidney damage (Lyme nephritis).
The clinical signs for Lyme nephritis are far more severe than the typical Lyme infection and include vomiting which she was doing excessively, not eating, increased thirst and urination she's was trying to get into the toilet and everything, weight loss, extreme lethargy.
Outcome
The majority of dogs positive for Lyme will not become sick. For those that are sick, most dogs respond within 1-2 days of starting antibiotics.
However, dogs that develop Lyme nephritis have a poor prognosis and many do not survive.
The best ways to avoid Lyme disease in dogs include:
* Avoid high risk areas
* (tall grasses, wooded areas)
* Specifically around the edges around the Dog Park and bag area and even within it. It's easy pickings for them there.
🛑🛑AND IF SO PLEASE !!!🛑🛑
* Year-round tick control
* Routine tick checks
* Prompt removal of ticks
* Vaccination
Tick control is the most important part of Lyme disease prevention and must be done consistently and properly.
There are many products available such as collars, topicals or chewables. Your veterinarian can help guide you on what is the best choice for your dog
.
Since Lyme disease transmission from a tick bite takes at least 24-48 hours, tick checks and prompt removal are crucial to avoid infection.
If a tick is found attached to your pet, it can be removed by grasping it close to where it is attached to the skin with tweezers or a tick removal device with slow and steady traction.
Keeping lawns cut short and cleaning up leaf piles can help dogs avoid ticks in the backyard.
Discuss with your veterinarian if the Lyme vaccine is right for your dog based on location, risk and lifestyle.
Previous Lyme infections do not provide natural immunity, and the vaccine can help prevent re-infection. Even with vaccination, tick preventatives should be used year-round in order to minimize the risk of infection. The Lyme vaccine is given once, followed by a booster after 3-4 weeks and then again annually. Contribute
