Sure. The stronger a dog's constitution/immune system, the better its chances are of fighting-off the effects of any parasite.Originally Posted by Doc Ellis
If "we are what we eat," then it holds that the healthier any dog's diet, the healthier the dog, and the greater its likelihood of fighting-off any infection on its own.
(Especially if the other parasites which dogs routinely face are held to a minimum by the regular administration of medicines.)
By contrast, the shittier the diet, and the less parasite control the dog routinely gets in other respects, the weaker/less healthy the dog is going to be "in general" ... and so the greater the likelihood that it will succumb to babesia, if that challenge gets added on to the lack of vigilant care the dog receives in every other respect.
