Can't seem to shake off the vet!!!

Thursday Apr 24, 2008 02:20:00 AM

Hi All!

I am just having a really bad year health-wise. You already know about my recent bout with poisoning. I just went back to vet yesterday for a check-up and get new blood tests to see whether my liver is getting better. Got the results and it was good news for the liver test at least -- its finally almost down to normal levels -- so, yay! But the results also showed really low platelet levels so the vet took another test and it was confirmed that I am positive for ehrlichia (from an infested brown dog tick). At least it's in the very early stages so I just need to take meds (doxycycline) so that it does not progress. Oh boy, I thought I was finally done with the meds but now I have a whole new set to take for the ehrlichia. Mom is just confused how I got it since she is very meticulous about administering Frontline and I have not had any ticks or fleas since I was a wee pup. Maybe I picked it up during our walks??

Sad woofs and slow wags,
Hunter
