   • No single test can prove that Lyme borreliosis is the cause of illness; therefore, the diagnosis requires a combination of diagnostic testing and clinical judgment. A lack of reported tick exposure is not sufficient to rule out Lyme borreliosis. The recommended treatment for Lyme borreliosis in dogs is a 4-week course of doxycycline.
