Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Dogs
6. Joint Pain
Dogs are usually quite active animals, depending on their breed, so it is usually quite noticeable if they are in pain somehow. Lyme disease can cause pain in their joints, just as it can with people, and this can make it quite difficult for them to get around. It can also be quite painful for them even when they are resting.
The pain is caused when the bacterium gets to the joints, causing them to become inflamed. This inflammation can then become quite painful and limit your dog’s ability to move freely. The pain will often last 2-4 days before subsiding and then recurring again.
