Lyme does not usually show many symptoms in dogs, until a limp appears.
But ehrylichiosis, coinfection, often dxd as cancer, ravages urinary tract &, in my doberman, manifested small oval bald spots with little raspberry-looking, ridiculously itchy spots in center.
Argued with very nice vet to get blood draw to be sent to dr. Kakoma at U of I.
Yup all 3 +: lyme, ehrylichiosis & babesiosis (protazoa causes like mild malaria symptoms).
In dogs, imizol is drug of choice. 1 or 2 shot protocol. I chose 1 shot. (Drug is cattle anti-parasitic drug approved for this use ~1997ish.)
