Symptoms of Lyme disease tend to be vague, come and go, and vary from pet to pet. Symptoms include: Limping and swollen joints – usually this starts in the joint closest to the tick-bite site, then shifts from leg to leg. Fever is one of the symptoms. Lethargy is also a symptom. Other symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, reduced appetite, and nerve problems. Pets don’t tend to get the classic ‘bulls eye/target’ lesion that humans get if bitten by a tick with Lyme disease. Lyme disease can affect multiple parts of the body and cause a variety of symptoms such as limping, stiffness, fever and low energy. Drinking and weeing more can also be a symptom of Lyme disease.

Some of the most common symptoms of tick fever in dogs include: Fever up to 105°F (40.5°C) Loss of appetite Enlarged lymph nodes Inflammation of joints Vomiting and diarrhea Facial or limb swelling Coughing Breathing difficulties Abdominal pain. In more severe cases dogs may exhibit round, purplish-red spots inside of the eyelids and mouth caused by bleeding below the surface.
