Just an update on my puppy. We finished a bottle of Bron Cure in 6 days, pero biglang inuubo naman siya ngayon. :| So binigyan siya ng antibiotics (will check later kung ano). :( Sana gumaling na sipon at ubo nya. Masigla pa rin siya sobra pero ayoko syempre na nahihirapan siya sa ubo't sipon. Plus baka di ko siya madala for assessment for our basic OB intermediate class. :(

Brought Macho to the vet.. And they said baka he's positive with blood parasite. Hay, nakakaiyak kase sabi "hopefully gumana yun antibiotic sa kanya". I pray hard na gumaling na siya. Di ako sanay na matamlay siya. He's very playful kase (chowchow x siberian husky siya). Doxycycline yun meds niya.... Nakakainis talaga ang mga ticks!  >:(

gagaling yan. my chipin had 2-3 'episodes' of ehrlichia(wrong spelling yata ako) or blood parasite. first time I found out, may matigas sa leeg nya, yun pala tick. house, garahe lang naman sya, pero syempre may mga ticks sa grass, plants, and besides yung kapitbahay namin pito yata yung aso sa bahay mukhang di naman pinapavet. For ehrlichia, may stages yan eh. First time my chipin had it, I think he was 3 or 4 yrs old. Stage 2 yata or stage 3. (kahit isa lang yung tick, matagal na yatang nakakakabit sa kanya or napatagal bago ko say madala sa vet, malay ko ba about blood parasites) mababa yung platelets but not to the point na kailangan ng blood transfuion. So kahit na stage 1 pa yan, automatic na doxycycline agad binibigay. I go to Makati Dog and Cat. So ever since that, nilalagyan ko na sya ng frontline every month pero once in awhile nagkakaron parin. every 2 yrs or so. Pero puro stage 1 nalang kasi maliit lang naman yung chipin ko s everytime i pet him, chinecheck ko talaga lahat ng pwedeng icheck, pag may nakita akong isang tick, dala agad sa vet. usually summer sya nagkaakron dati if I remember correctly. He is now 9 and just underwent neuter operation kanina.

Wala bang blood test na ginawa to check the platelet count?

sabi rin ng vet, hindi rin assurance ang frontline. nakakatulong lang sya to prevent the spread or pag up ng stage. kasi kahit naka frontline yung doggie, nakakadapo parin yung tick at nakakakagat at once nakagat ng tick, saka palang mamamatay yung tick. by then, nasa blood na nya yung kung ano mang blood parasite yun. I am not sure though if automatic na pag may tick eh may blood parasite. I hope your dog gets better soon. Usually pag stage 1, 2 weeks magaling na, that is according to my baby's experience.

kumuha nga ba nang cbc? anyway, sana may ibang tests din sila na ginawa. usually, ayan, blood chem kasi nagkakaroon na sila nang kahit papaano, mas malinaw na idea kung ano talaga yung problema.

anyway, yung aso ko naman naging problema ngayon ay kamot nang kamot, may mga red bumps at medyo nagsusugat na yung iba. blood chem (normal naman lahat kahit yung sa kidneys niya. dati kasi may problema siya doon), skin scrape (at least twice, at least 3 days after bathing) dry skin lang ang nakita and kagat naman nang fleas yung nasa may ulo. nag steroids siya nang one week para lang kahit papaano mapahinga sa pagkamot, then may special na shampoo and dagdag nang refamol. nagpalit din ako nang food, from acana, ibinalik ko muna sa go natural salmon. within a week natuyo na yung mga nagsusugat at nagflat na yung bumps. ngayon, 2 weeks na yata, nagkakamot pa din pero nagiging flawless na ulit, sana gumaling na nang maayos at magtuloy tuloy.

Sis kase yun askal namin positive of blood parasite so siguro to cut expenses they assumed? I dunno... I trust the vets naman kase natreat naman yun furbaby ko sa skin infection nya...

Update: my sister saw a blood droplet somewhere near my furbaby... She checked kung may nose bleed or in any orifice pero wala naman daw. Tom we will bring him to the vet to have his blood checked. So devastating lang. Kanina di ako makacocentrate sa work because of him. I dont think I can afford to lose another pet :((

@x-y
alam ko since 3x na nagkaron nga ng blood parasite or ehrlichia yung chipin ko, there are 2 ways para malaman. one is platelet count and the other way is ehrlichia/blood test strip (parang pregnancy test itsura nito) ako if i suspect na may blood parasite sya once may nakita akong tick, platelet count muna pinapacheck ko, pag normal i dont go thru the test strip test na kasi that one is 1k alone whereas platelet count test is 300 only(iba pa ito sa cbc). kasi once may blood parasite kahit few days palang yan nakakagat, babaksak agad yung platelet at mabilis ang pag baksak each day. Once mababa ang platelet, saka ko pinapa ehrlichia/blood test strip test, pag positive, yun na yun. Pag negative, saka gagawin ang ibang mga test to identify what's causing the platelet drop.

Disturbing nga yan sis. Ako nung first time ko nalaman yun napraning ako, halos di ako makawork kasi one and only lang yung chipin ko. only child pako so sya lang talaga ang baby ko. (ayaw kasi ng fam ko ng another pet) tapos katakot pa yung nababasa ko sa net about it. you have to know what stage yung ehrlichia nya sis. malalaman yata yun sa platelet count kung baksak na baksak.
Good luck and gagaling sya, just pray :D

sis advice ko lang. kung blood parasite nga yan, wag mo patagalin yung checkup, kung pwede ngayon or bukas nga as you said kasi nga each day alam ko yung platelet nag da drop. sabagay you said may antibiotics naman sya. kasi kung mataas yung stage ng ehrlichia nya, tinataasan yung dosage ng antibitic up to the point na nag pprednisone(steroids yata ito) na sya nung first time nya nagkaron. sorry andamin kong post.

keep us posted sis. *hugs*

We went to the vet na this morning. Nagpablood test na kame including test for ehrlichia, blood parasite and liver and spleen function test. Not sure if that includes cbc with platelet. Mas okay naman na si Macho ngayon compared the other day... Pero mahina pa rin appetite... Wala na rin siyang lagnat... Hopefully tuloy tuloy na. Wasnt able to sleep well kase nga binantayan ko siya... I monitored his respiration as well as kung may signs of bleeding pa. Wala naman na. Sabi ng vet sa akin, they are considering heat as the cause of the nose bleed  din.. When we checked kase wala talagang sugat or any profuse bleeding e.

glad to hear that. sana nga tuluy-tuloy na :) tinanong ko nga rin yung Vets bakit naman yung mga askal or ibang mga aso na may ticks eh nabubuhay nang matagal, saka parang wala lang effect. Katulad nung minipin ng cousin ko sa province, kasamahan nun mga askal, lahat sila may mga fleas and ticks, wala namang frontline, heartguard at kung [textspeak!]-anong maintenance bakit mukang healthy parin?  :o

Sabi ni vet, parang mga batang kalye din yan, pag kumain sila araw-araw ng maduduming food, parang na iimmune na yung katawan nila sa germs  :-\ (saka pano ko naman daw nalaman na healthy, eh di nga daw pinapacheck-up)

last week namatay ang 3 yr old boxer ko sa blood parasite.   :'( i left her sa bahay ng parents ko kasi andito ako ngayon sa states. tinawagan nila ako na ayaw daw kumain ang baby ko at nagsusuka. pinaadmit ko siya tapos sa 3rd day niya nag susuka na siya ng blood. at mataas daw ang kanyang wbc. tapos bigla nalang siya natumba at nawalan ng buhay. depress talaga ako ngayon dito. :'(

Nakaka-sad naman tong thread na to. :( Huhu. I hope your dog gets well, x-y. Akala ko ang sarap ng buhay na may internet, Google-google ka lang at alam mo na. Hindi rin pala, knowledge is poison. :(

Update pala on my dog,

Feb 8 - humahaching at inuubo, dinala sa vet, CBC normal, binigyan lang Vit C and BronCure; walang gana kainin yung current food nya
Feb 14 - ubos na BronCure, mas inuubo na, binigyan ng antibiotics (CefaVet); ayaw pa rin yung food niya
Feb 15 - wala nang ubo; ayaw pa rin yung food nya

Occasionally, sumusuka siya sa umaga, which I suspect is dahil sa antibiotics. :( Last day na ng antibiotics nya ngayon... Maya siguro dalhin ko na lang siya sa vet ulit, we have training na ulit on Saturday, I want to make sure na pwede kami umattend. :(

Regarding sa food, ayaw lang talaga nya nung food nya. Kapag iba, or nilalagyan ng Sleeky gravy, kinakain naman niya. :|

All throughout, sobrang sigla naman nya.

^ try mo kaya change muna food nya? baka bored na kasi. try boiled chicken (no skin/bones), tapos add carrots na mashed/super lambot, sabaw ng pinag boil-an ng chicken + rice.

importante kasi may laman ang tummy para di humapdi dahil sa meds, tsaka alam ko may meds na mas absorbed ng body if taken with meals eh.

let him rest muna, tskana na work/training, pag back to 100% na sya.

Update: Macho is feeling better na. He's positive with Ehrlichia but his kidney and liver tests are normal.
Kumakain na ngayon pero ayaw pa rin ng rice... Masmasigla na rin siya. Nakakatuwa nung nakita nya yun boyfriend ko kanina. As in parang isang taon niyang di nakita sa pangungulit, pandidila, paghahug and all.
