Ehrlichiosis-Tick Fever

Ann said:
The symptoms are similar to Lyme but the difference is that the animal spikes a high fever quickly with ehrliciosis, in a matter of hours. This is what happened with both our horses, and also the dogs I know who've had it. There's another thread here where Dr. Shelli discussed it too...check for that one.

Thanks....I vaguely remember that thread. I remember worrying about my horse getting it.
 
Well Kimmi is still coughing and occasionally throwing up because of the cough. The vet says it could be "leftovers" from 8 years ago. Apparently sometimes the doxy may not always clear up the condition if not treated long enough. Limmi will be rechecked in 2 weeks.

I also found out that Holly, my thyroid baby, with Alopecia X, was being overdosed by my last vet. Holly was so skinny a while back and her does was never lowered and now her numbers are so high. Poor Holly has been so restless and now I know why. She also has so many bad teeth despite her daily teeth brushing, she needs to have 10 teeth pulled.

Maizie had a cyst removed from her butt last week, and is sitting funny and itches like mad. I have been calling her Frankenbutt.

I take the 5 dogs in next week for teeth cleaning. Hopefully nothing more will be found for these babies. I guess bi-yearly checkups aren't enough now.

Oh wow....sheltiemom....you all have gone through the ringer lately. I am sorry to hear about all of your furbabies health issues. I hope that the summer brings healing. My setter had hypothyroidism....and we had to get his bloodwork done quite frequently to make sure that his meds were in check.

Stay strong...and here's to lots of healing in your home :biggrin2:
 
danisgoat, Holly gets bloodwork usually every month. This is the first time it was 7 weeks because I was sick and could not get her to the vets
