Html ————- Fortunately, over ninety percent of the dogs during the first week of obvious signs of Lyme disease respond rapidly to treatment with a tetracycline antibiotic. This medication is administered for at least three weeks. In my experience, five percent of dogs have some type of relapse of signs such as heart or neurological problems after treatment.

Sometimes more than one course of therapy is necessary. Doxycycline should not be administered with food (milk or yogurt) or calcium supplements containing iron or magnesium (like antacids) because these drugs interfere slightly with the absorption of the antibiotic. (Allow at least two hours before or after administration of doxycycline.) Do not give Doxycycline on an empty stomach – to administer the medication with food or 30-60 minutes after the dog has eaten. Wrapping the pills in a piece of bread often helps alleviate stomach upset. Another thing some owners have found it useful – if you can do with your work schedule – is to keep active dog thing for a while after giving the doxycycline – if the dogs go to sleep immediately after administration of doxycycline – the medicine is at a point in the stomach and seems to be more irritating to the stomach lining .———————- http://www.
