Lymes disease?

[Alexela]

I rescued my dragon from a beach in Massachusetts where I work she was an escapeeand had been lost for about a month! when I contacted her original owner he offered to let us keep her because he wanted to rehome her anyway. We originally took her to the vet the day after we found her and the vet looked her over briefly and said she seemed healthy. But I recently found and removed two deer ticks inthe crevice of her eye lid is lymes disease something she can get or be tested for?
