The Lymes test is not a diagnosis.

An article by the American Veterinary Medical Association stated that:  Detection of antilbodies against Lyme disease is not definitive evidence of active or incipient outbreak of infection or an indication of the need for treatment.  Serologic status determined at a singular point in time is not predictive of future illness.  Summation — The test is WORTHLESS except to generate income for the clinic.  Up to 90% of normal dogs may test positive for Lyme disease yet, when followed for years, don’t come down with symptoms any more often than those testing negative.  The only symptom in dogs is multiple leg soreness. The AVMA states that a dog must be in a Lyme area, show this sympton and respond rapidly to the correct treat in order to be diagnosed having the disease.  It’s rare in dogs & easily treated. Veterinary colleges don’t even recommend vaccinating for it. A new book “How to Afford Veterinary Care without Mortgaging the Kids” by Dr. Busby explains this & much more.
