Dinah has been sleeping more than usual, not following me from room to room,
just staying on her Wally Bed. I took her to the vet today, and her
temperature was up. The vet ran blood tests, and her red cell count was 43%,
up from 35% in June. Her platelets were also very high, both by hand count
and computer. The vet does understand about platelets in Cavaliers.
She has run tic titers and is sending them to UT Vet School. She has started
her on Doxycycline, assuming this is a tic borne disease. She wants to get
her anemia under control ASAP. She had baby red blood cells on the slide,
too, so she is trying to compensate for this. She also ran a urinalysis,
which was fine.
Does anyone have any experience with tic borne diseases or have any other
thoughts on this? I use Frontline faithfully each month, and have never
found a tic on Dinah, but I'm sure it's possible that she had one.
