Bob,
Here is a quote from the OK State Veterinary site
Haemobartonella species are parasites of canines, felines and
rodents. H. canis is an epierythrocytic rickettsial parasite . The
organism occurs on RBCs with latent infections being common. The
organism appears as chains across the surface of the infected cell
or as small dots, rods or rings. Transmission is mainly by the brown
dog tick with both transstadial and transovarial transmission
occurring. Most natural infections in dogs do not develop into
clinical problems but when they do occur they are usually associated
with a developing anemia. Diagnosis is based on microscopic
identification of peripheral blood smears. Treatments similar to
that used for canine ehrlichiolsis involving tetracycline,
oxytetracycline, etc. Antibiotic therapy probably does not eliminate
the organism completely form infected dogs.

Teri,
Wouldn't the Doxycycline take care of that? According to my
vet, it would take care of any of the tick born diseases.
Thanks.

Bob,
That sudden but short term lameness could be a tick related
disease. Hemobartonella would be the one I would suspect. Have
eliminative were the tick disease tests.
Good luck with him.
