Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Dogs
3. Swollen Lymph Nodes
Dogs have lymph nodes just as we do and, when an infection is detected, the lymph nodes will be hard at work trying to deal with the problem. Just as in people, this can cause the lymph nodes to become swollen, and they can be quite noticeable in some cases.
A dog’s lymph nodes are found on their parts of the body that correspond to our own. That is the top of the neck, around the shoulders, and in their ‘arm’ pits. You might sometimes feel a swelling in these areas when petting your dog, but it might sometimes take a professional to notice the condition.
