Aug. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The warm weather in spring helped drive up the tick population, and that has meant more cases of Lyme disease in dogs. Joint illness, muscle pains and other serious symptoms afflict dogs that get this disease, so it's well worth preventing. If not treated, Lyme can kill the animal with a drastic infection.

"We've seen more tick-borne disease this summer than we've ever seen before," says Marla Lichtenberger, DVM, of Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals, in a free podcast.
"Ninety-nine-percent of the dogs with lameness can be helped," adds Dr. Lichtenberger.
