• Lyme disease in Pets
The degree of prevention for your pet depends upon exposure to areas at high risk for Lyme disease.  Grooming to detect ticks and prompt removal will help to minimize the risk of contracting Lyme disease.  Ticks can be removed with tweezers by grasping the mouth parts of the tick adjacent to the skin and gently pulling back.  If not done properly, the mouth parts of the tick can remain imbedded in the animal.  If you are uncertain about the proper method for removing ticks, consult your veterinarian.
