Parásitos
A tick-borne disease that affects the blood cells. It can progress through stages and become chronic if left untreated.
Ehrlichia bacteria transmitted by ticks. After the initial infection it can remain latent and reappear years later.
Blood tests: serology, PCR and a complete blood count (which usually shows a low platelet count).
A specific antibiotic (doxycycline) for several weeks. Early detection greatly improves the prognosis.
Year-round tick control with an effective antiparasitic product.
See your vet if there is fever, lethargy or abnormal bleeding, especially if there has been tick exposure. The chronic phase is harder to treat.
