Good morning, Madam,

There are several treatment options for Lyme disease, both in animals and in humans. However, there are significant differences in the antibiotics used. It is therefore recommended that antibiotics prescribed for a human not be used in an animal, and vice versa.

Have you been prescribed medication for the treatment of Lyme disease?

No, I was just curious! I've had to put human eye drops in my dog before so I was wondering if the treatment for Lyme disease could be the same too. Thanks
