Our panel achieved consensus on evaluating all dogs at risk in North America with a qualitative Bb antibody assay, testing all Bb‐seropositive dogs for proteinuria, using doxycycline as the first choice for dogs or cats with suspected clinical LB (although the best protocol and duration are unknown), using mycophenolate with or without ...
Common laboratory tests usually are not revealing in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The white blood cell count may be elevated or normal. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, creatinine, and urinalysis results are usually normal.
The best way to protect dogs from Lyme disease is to use tick-preventive products year-round. Several safe and effective commercial parasiticides are available for tick control on dogs and cats, including systemics (isoxazolines), topicals (permethrin, fipronil), and collars.
