| | Anne's Tick Disease FAQ |
 | | One probable reason for negative test results for dogs whose symptoms strongly suggest tick-borne disease is that the dog was not tested for the right species. | | | There is some controversy concerning whether one should treat or not treat dogs that test positive for tick-borne disease but appear asymptomatic. | | | For most dog owners who have become informed about tick-borne disease in dogs, it was not something done out of choice. |

| | Tick Disease |
| | Tick borne disease is becoming epidemic in the United States, it's serious and it's deadly. | | | Since this was written in 1996, tick disease has burgeoned as a problem that is still largely overlooked and it is all the more vital that vets inform themselves about it. | | | This is twice the amount recommended in the Merck Veterinary Manual and is given for a longer period of time than the VMM recommends; however, vets who deal with tick disease all the time say that the higher doses and longer administration are successful far more often in treating this disease and preventing its recurrence. |

| | Lyme Disease and Related Tick-Borne Infections |
| | The bite of infected tiny nymph ticks is estimated to be responsible 90% of all Lyme disease cases. | | | The longer an infected tick is attached to the skin, the greater the chance that the Lyme organism will be transmitted. | | | The Ixodes scapularis tick goes through three stages over the course of about two years: it is born from eggs as a larva, then develops into the nymph stage and finally into the adult stage. |

| | Although Lyme disease is the most well known of the tick-borne infections, multiple infections can be tranferred at one time by a single tick. | | | Transmitted by the bite of a tick, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete (spiral shaped bacteria) Borrelia burgdorferi. | | | Further, a significant number of patients do not recall any rash or tick-bite. |

| | Testing For Tick-Borne Disease |
| | It's important, when evaluating for possible infection by a tick bite which incurred while visiting an area which is endemic for Lyme disease, that a comprehensive work up be done to also look for the possible tranmission of other tick-borne disease. | | | These laboratories are known for their excellent reputation for testing for tick-borne disease. | | | "The diagnosis of Lyme disease is based primarily on clinical findings, and it is often appropriate to treat patients with early disease solely on the basis of objective signs and a known exposure." |
