Lyme
Disease
Should your patients receive a Lyme vaccine? In many areas of
the country, answering this question may seem anything but
straightforward. We want to make risk assessments based on
an honest appraisal of the pet's lifestyle; however, clients do not
always think to report every relevant detail.
Assessing a dog's risk factors for Bordetella can be relatively
straightforward. Is the dog in contact with other dogs, at a
boarding facility, groomer, dog park, or during neighborhood
socialization time? If so, the dog needs a Bordetella vaccine.
Evaluating a dog's risk of Lyme disease, however,
can be more challenging.
