Veteran Posts: 170	My mare has lymes disease, I actually have two with it. The one is a retired barrel horse and basically she was just lethargic, off her feed, fever, etc. My current barrel horse started to show signs of lameness off and on in random legs. She was extremely spooky, constantly setting back, and would flinch when you touched her, brushed her, saddled her, etc. She became almost impossible to handle. I was just getting her back in shape at the time and boarding her at an indoor in town so I chalked it up to nerves and being fresh for a while. However when the lameness worsened and she started to act like her whole body hurt thats when the vet came out. She tested very hot for lymes and within a week of being on the antibiotics she was starting to go back to her normal self. She did require injections after that ordeal from major joint soreness, however I have found a wonderful joint supplement that has both my previously injected mares running without them! All 4 of my horses have had some form of tick disease, I've been through it all lol.
