He has no symptoms, and I will find out in a few days if he needs antibiotics. He is exhausted from the vet visit.

A dog we got from a rescue 9 years ago still dings positive for Lyme when she goes to the vet. It's apparently an antibody test and they keep those for a very long time - very treatable, just know she may always test positive for it now.

Yup, we got a rescue one as well that tests positive after the last treatment was years ago

No symptoms ever since

Yeah. My vet told me he'll always show as positive.
