My dog is on Doxycycline 100 mg for 21 days as a precaution because of multiple tick bites?
Thе vet ѕауѕ hе needs tested fοr lymes 2 weeks аftеr finishing thе antibiotic. It doesn’t mаkе sense tο mе bесаυѕе thе antibiotic hе іѕ οn ѕhουld kіll аnу lyme disease. I thіnk thе blood test іѕ senseless. Anу professional opinions οn thіѕ?
Well as said, its a precaution. If you are waiting on a blood test either results aren’t in or you havn’t taken it yet because lymes dosnt always show up right away. Antibiotics prevent infection but it probably wont get it out of his system if he test positive.
Its always best to be safe than sorry and lose your pet down the line. You can also check out http://www.nuvet.com/30692 supplements which keep your pets immune system super strong in case something in the future happens.
Antibiotics are not always effective, especially with lyme disease. Better safe than sorry.
