Infection clears up and he fine for a few weeks then he just looked off and gums were pale urine dark . Off to Vet for Babesia test. Test comes back neg Vet sugests worms but I know better. I purchase Droncit Plus tabs anyway but no improvement. Vet calls to check on him a week later I tell him no change He recomends Rebound for hydration I tell him he is not dry. I change to raw Tuesday today is Christmas and no change that I can tell. Will have the coffee good and hot when Vet arrives in the MORNING.

How did your vet check for babesia, exactly? By titer or by DNA?

I ask this because many titer checks come out "negative" ... but when re-checked with a DNA profile, the babesia is then found. If you have any additional questions, you can also contact Dr. Adam Birkenheuer at the University of North Carolina Veterinary School for the most up-to-date information, and as a matter of fact your vet could send another blood sample directly to Dr. Birkenheuer for analysis.

What is your dog's blood count?
