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?
Dr. Tajunnisa M
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.
