Thanks Teri, In addition to the Doxycycline I'm giving him CS daily... although I don't think that would kill the parasite unless it was single celled (which I don't know). At 17lbs I'm giving him about a Tablespoon of 10ppm CS daily (Soverign Silver Brand because of particle size... I make my own as well). I'm wondering if there aren't some herbal anti parasitics I' should be giving... such as artimisinen (artemisia), wormwood, etc. Suggestions are welcome... so far he's doing well.
Thanks.

H. canis is an epierythrocytic rickettsial parasite . The organism occurs on RBCs with latent infections being common. The organism appears as chains across the surface of the infected cell or as small dots, rods or rings. Transmission is mainly by the brown dog tick with both transstadial and transovarial transmission occurring. Most natural infections in dogs do not develop into clinical problems but when they do occur they are usually associated with a developing anemia. Diagnosis is based on microscopic identification of peripheral blood smears. Treatments similar to that used for canine ehrlichiolsis involving tetracycline, oxytetracycline, etc. Antibiotic therapy probably does not eliminate the organism completely form infected dogs.

Hemobartonella would be the one I would suspect. Have eliminative were the tick disease tests. Good luck with him. Teri -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
