[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 92094, member: 1026"] Treatment/Management/Prevention: SPECIFIC 1) Antibiotic treatment usually results in resolution of lameness but [b]clinical signs of joint disease may recur even in treated dogs[/b]. Research in laboratory dogs indicates that, in spite of adequate antibiotic therapy, infected individuals are possibly infected for life. Recent research, however, has demonstrated decreasing C6 ELISA levels in response to antibiotic therapy in experimentally infected laboratory dogs. It remains to be seen if the decrease in C6 ELISA indicates clearance of infection or rather a sequestration of Borrelia burgdorferi in immune privileged cites with the possibility of later recrudescence of active infection. Amoxicillin: 20mg/kg PO q12h for two weeks. Ampicillin: 22mg/kg PO, SC, IM, IV q8h for two weeks. Tetracycline: 22mg/kg PO q8h for one month. Dogs that cannot tolerate tetracycline may tolerate doxycycline. Doxycycline: 10mg/kg PO q24h or divided q12h for one month. 2) Some dogs will become [b]chronically affected and have incomplete resolution of clinical signs or recurrent signs.
