I don't know how the testing for Lymes is now, but when I lived in NJ, they would put people on antibiotics immediately rather than wait for the results of a test. At that time it took a long time to get the results back and it was better to start treatment. Antibiotics early is key!
IF this is a possible tick bite, I would speak with the vet about antibiotics.
tick bites on people look different then bites on dogs. dogs don't get a bullseye from a tick.
