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
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.
