My golden female is 2 years old now. At 1.2yrs she contracted parvo, fought it off successfully. We couldn't spay her then. Then at 1.9 she contracted babesios - after 1 month antibiotic/antiprotozoal treatment - her PCR result even after 90 days shows positive for babesios Gibsoni. Clinically she is stable, very active, all CBC normal, weight 32kg. Is it ok to get her surgery to be spayed? Or if we don't what is her cancer risk down the road 3-5 years. Thanks

Also all PCR tests being done at Pet Bitotech Labs, IISC. Bangalore. Can we be confident of their results? I am in Hyderabad, so after blood drawn, it takes 3-4 Days to get results. And we are basing the whole treatment on these results.

Any other labs, options are better? We have crown clinics here, do they use any other labs?

Hi Sridhar. There’s also a lab called Vetlesions who does PCR for 6 babesia species. Once a pet is affected with babesiosis, they show a low load of positivity all the time as most of the pets end up having latent infection throughout the life. If her activity levels are normal with no symptoms plus having normal blood work, you can go for surgery as well.

Thanks Doctor, I will check out Vetlesions as well. Is it better to avoid surgery now?

Or is it better for her future health?

You can postpone surgery for few months. It won’t be a problem. Make sure she is stress free. Babesiois flares up when a pet goes through any kind of stress.

THEO’S REAL STORY! 🫶 I have recently shared an adoption appeal for Theo my dog and received a lot of backlash. I would like to clarify a few things : 1. Theo is my family and he is a rescue. He was abandoned at a kennel and was in a very bad condition and suffered from ear infection and other issues. 2. My family has had Theo for 1 year now and we LOVE him truly and I can never think of abandoning him. 3. I have been approached by multiple people including unethical breeders but I will ensure that Theo doesn’t end up homeless or with the wrong people and that is why I put up a post here. 4. My family condition isn’t that great at the moment and im leaving for my higher studies. He is a dog that needs constant attention love and affection like every dog and I am sad that im not able to provide that to him and hence putting him up for adoption. When I rescued him I didn’t think of anything else except him getting better, he is not a SHOW OFF dog he is my best friend. Thanks for everyone reaching out!
