Lyme markers in blood
How long to the Lyme markers stay in a dog's bloodstream? Both Jesse & Jake showed exposure to Lyme's a few years ago and both were treated as a precaution. If they were to get tested again, would the old markers still show?

- Thanks Dr. Doug!
- Thank you Doug. Your professional answers are always so appreciated.
- This is a pretty complex question and the answer really depends on the test that was run.

Doug, DVM - Those markers show up in our Golden every time we have him tested since he was first treated for Lyme disease several years ago.
I don't understand how/if they know whether they are old or new markers.
