About this episode

Dr. Sykes discusses the diagnosis and management of Lyme Borreliosis in dogs, including treatment options and the implications of positive test results.

In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, welcomes Jane E. Sykes, BVSc(Hons), PhD, MPH, MBA, FNAP, DACVIM (SAIM), to discuss her recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Diagnosis & Management of Dogs With Lyme Borreliosis.” While still highly regional, Lyme is occurring in more places because the range of Ixodes ticks is expanding. Dr. Sykes explains what we should—and shouldn’t—do with a positive test including treatment, vaccination, and the severe circumstance of Lyme nephritis. This episode is brought to you by Zoetis.
