Abstract :
A 5-year-old Jack Russell Spaniel was presented in December 2017 to his veterinarian in Belgium for sudden weakness, reluctance to
move, and pain. Blood analysis showed no deviations and serum increased levels of B. burgdorferi s.l. antibodies were detected.Te
dog recovered a few days afer the onset of doxycycline treatment. Tis case illustrates the possible relationship between tick-borne
diseases and orthopedic problems.
