When you say don’t treat if they have antibodies but no symptoms, wouldn’t active Lyme turn into chronic and then have a high ospf, chronic being harder to treat ? I am confused when you say if a horse has antibodies but no symptoms do not treat. Also Antibodies meaning Ospc and Ospf ?? Is there a number that we should say yes treat.. I am assuming high chronic Lyme never goes down only rises? Ty
I am not sure at 22:00 mins in the video - how does the line in the eye looks like? The quality of the audio is poor and my english is not that great as well. I am thinking my horse might have lyme disease, this is how I got to your video. She has never had big problems, was a very healthy horse all in her life. She is now 17. She had a group of ticks in her mane this march (2022) and she was lame for a month in June (I thought she got kicked by an other horse in the pasture). On the 2nd august (2022) she got a sudden laminitis for all her 4 legs. She got better when some of her blood was released by the 3rd vet and she got infusion (quite late, as the first 2 vets were just guessing and gave only basic treatments and finally said they can not do more....). A continuous Phenylbutazone treatment seemed to help as well. The XRAY showed 12% rotation and she was trimmed + got a reverse shoe for the vet's advice (she never had shoes before). The situation got way worse after this, so I had her shoe removed and applied a soft bandage on her hooves after 2 weeks, but she still suffers and I am trying to find solutions and the reason why can't she recover (now she gets Kerabol biotin). This happened about 2 weeks before. Now she lays down for very long times, has some wounds from this already even if her box is deep bedded. I have read that lyme disease can cause sudden laminitis as well, so if she has lyme, I thought this is the reason she can not recover.
I would lean the other way probably under diagnosed I’m sick n so much pain and it’s subjective completely couldn’t tell from the outside imagine not being able to speak how could you tell and we don’t even know how to find it same in humans can’t find it
Very informative, thank you
Thankyou
awesome
