Lyme disease

I have an appointment to take one of my fur-babies in to be tested for Lyme disease next week. She's exhibiting joint pain and fatigue and it could easily be age-related, but we live in a very Lyme-prone area, so I'm concerned. I'll get all the answers I need next week, but in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone here has had a dog with Lyme and what the treatment and subsequent results were. Thanks!
 
One of my dogs tested positive for Lyme when we lived in New Jersey. We did 30 days of Doxycycline and nothing else presented. That’s dog has since passed from old age. I saw lots of Lyme positive tests at the Vet Clinic I worked at in Jersey. Most had good outcomes. I talked with lots of owners who also had Lyme and they said a round of antibiotics was very helpful for them too although some people did that for 6 months.
 
That's great news, Kirsten! Thank you! Having lived in New Jersey, you know what it's like here in the northeast. We wait all winter to finally get some nice weather and then we have to battle those darn ticks. It's miserable and worrisome for pets and people alike.
