Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Well I ot the results from the blood test last week. He has protozoons, which are called Anaplasmose, don´t know if they have the same name in English. Now I must give him strong antibiotics for atleast three weeks. Now I know where all the health problems he had over the olast year came from.
I hate them damn ticks so much, if I could I would kill them all.

I hope the regeneration of his liver after the medication will not be a big problem.

He also has a small hypofunction of the thyroid, but I will wait and deal with that after we got rid of the Anaplasmose.

Over the last year I went to several vets and none of them realized the symptoms, which means I wasted alot of money. On one hand I´m happy that I finally know what´s up with him but I´m also scared that there is some lasting damage to vital parts and joints, which can happen after a long time. and he has this monsters in his blood for atleast a year now.

Poor guy! Luka had anaplasma last year. Luckily we caught it before she had symptoms. Now I just get them tested for all tick-born illnesses every year. Ticks are so evil! Hope he feels better soon.

He seems to feel a bit better now. We still have two weeks of medication in front of us. my worry is that because he has it for months now that his joints etc. is not damaged yet.

From now on I will make this test once a year too.

We finished the medication for the Anaplasma this weekend. First it seemed that he is fit again because two days he was high energy like he was when he was about one year old, but since yesterday he is floppy again and now he has diarrhea.
We have an appointment at the vet tomorrow morning. I really hope this whole thing will turn out the good way.

Poor guy, I hope you can figure out what's wrong with him and get him feeling better soon.

And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."  -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"
