I have 2 goldens, max and Lexi both 1.8yrs old. 2 months ago Max passed away due to babesios despite aggressive treatment. I got the female PCR tested and she tested +ve for Babesia Vogeli on 7/11. She was clinically stable with normal blood results. Treatment started with 10 days of Rajadox, Clindohat, Glocin, Flagyl, Azithrohat & Atovaquin. CBC was done every 4 days, with normal results. Rajadox continued for 18days. 2nd PCR done on 6/12. Now she is negative for Vogeli but positive for Gibsoni. Doc says she may have had both but dominant one showed up in test. He says just monitor her for symptoms now, no more treatment. Her CBC is normal, appetite normal, activity normal, weight 32kg. Please advise if anything more to be done. Thanks

Worried about taking her to the vet so often as there are lot of tick fever cases in hyd this year, so lot of sick dogs there.

Yes thank you Chinmayee. It took 3 pcr tests over 3 months for her to test negative. After that we did 1 more test and she was still negative, so touch wood, since then no further relapses, but I am particularly careful, every 3 months I get her examined, and if necessary get a cbc also.

Please take care of Shadow, personally I went through hell with Max 2 years ago, my family still suffers from the trauma, however since Shadow is active, eating, drinking very very good signs of recovery soon. My prayers are with you.

A 3 weeks old cute little kitten abandoned on road crying for her mother, got rescued by us for early days. He is checked up by Doctor, dewormed and medicine is given for stomach infection. I request to adopt this baby, as we won't be able to take his care for long, due to lack of space and building restrictions. Contact - 9724908300

Goku is a cute little energetic bundle of joy. We rescued him from the street when he was hardly one month old, he was a little scared at the start but is very playful and friendly now. He is vaccinated and dewormed. Looking for a nice loving family who can adopt him.
