What is Poodle Lyme Disease?

Poodle Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia Burgdorferi. This disease is characterized by joint inflammation and lameness, which can be very painful for dogs. Poodles that are infected with Lyme disease are more likely to experience kidney damage, and in rare cases, heart problems. Young Poodles are particularly susceptible to Lyme disease, but it can affect dogs of any age.
