Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Dogs
7. Swollen joints
Depending on the breed of dog, the joints in their legs can be quite prominent, and this can make it easier for us to tell when something is wrong. In instances of Lyme disease, inflammation of the joints can cause the joints to become swollen, and this swelling can lead to other problems such as pain and limited movement.
In addition to the swelling, the joints are also likely to be warm to the touch. They will also likely be quite tender, so bear that in mind when you are checking them. You may also notice some stiffness in your dog when they are walking, and you might notice them walking with their back arched.
