What is Lyme Disease and what are the symptoms?
Lyme disease is an infectious tick-borne disease that mainly affects dogs, although it is not unknown in cats and other animals. It is caused by a type of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi.

The most common initial symptoms of pets Lyme disease include:
1.Fever.
2.Joint Swelling.
3.Lameness.
4.Lethargy.

The conventional treatment?
The conventional treatment of Lyme disease usually involves antibiotics (usually for a period of between 14 to 30 days, but sometimes extended antibiotic use is recommended). In fact, a notable symptom of Lyme disease is that it does usually respond to appropriate antibiotics.
However antibiotics have a general weakening effect on the immune system which can cause further problems, especially in the long-term.
Topical insecticides that repel ticks and vaccination against Lyme disease are also often recommended. However these can lead to excess toxin build-up and cause further weakening of the immune system in the long term.

How can natural remedies help?
As part of a holistic approach to treating your pet, natural remedies can help to build and strengthen your pet's immune system (a very important factor in Lyme disease), encourage the elimination of toxins and generally improve the overall health of your animal.
Natural remedies can also help to relieve specific symptoms associated with Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses such as liver problems, infection, inflammation and fever.
Used in conjunction with conventional treatment they can support and strengthen your pet's immune system and lessen the toxic effects of medication.

What else can I do to help my pet?
1.Prevention is better than cure. Check your pets carefully and regularly for ticks especially after they have been walking in potentially tick-infested areas such as long grass.
2.Toxins and chemicals can have a general weakening effect on your pet's immune system so avoid exposure to them as far as possible. These include pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke.
3.The liver is often affected by Lyme disease. Ask your veterinarian to explain the side effects all medications that are prescribed for your dog. If there is a chance of liver damage then find out if there is an alternative medication or if not, what you can do to minimize the effects of liver damage.
4.Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). The liver is involved in getting rid of toxins in the body so the less chemical additives and preservatives in your pet's diet, the more his liver's workload decreases.
5.Acupressure massage is helpful in improving immune functioning.
6.Use Immunity and Liver Support capsules to boost your pet's immune functioning and resistance against disease and infection.
7.Vaccination is often recommended for the prevention of Lyme disease. However talk to a holistic vet before immunizing your pet as over-vaccination may stress the immune system unnecessarily.
