Evo great contribution and experience shared. I will challenge you to study further on newer treatment for Babesia Gibsoni. Studies are showing anti malaria drugs are not having as good of results as intermittently treating with anthlamentics (Ivomec) which also helps with Herx.
Humans who've shown to be co-infected with lyme/babs are being treated on a regular cycle of Ivomec paired with combination abx.
I find myself very passionate about this disease, I put a very promising young dog down about 15 years ago that tested positive for B. Gibsoni as the general consensus was "no cure" at that time. Then had another young prospect the following year also come up positive who's initial treatment was Imizol + Doxy. He relapsed and after a strong effort to save him he was too put down. I've not let the parasite take another victim.
Like CA Jack, I believe it is just a parasite we must all learn to effectively treat and control. We must adapt and deal with all diseases that effect us and the dogs, as those diseases will continue to do the same.
Thanks for sharing,
