RobinM Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 We will know more when TBD results start coming in. She said they will get some preliminary results this week, but she is leaning towards Ehrlichia.

2hounds Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Is he having any swelling of the joints or anything like that? If the vet thinks there is ANY chance at all that he will also need steroids, see about switching from Deramaxx to another non NSAID pain med. Mia was on Deramaxx and then when they wanted to start her on Prednisone (her Erlichea turned into immune mediated polyarthritis) we had to watch her like a hawk because you aren't supposed to give the 2 drugs together.

RobinM Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Oh we are very familiar with that! Beau lives on pred and imuran! And he also has had a bout of immune mediated polyarthritis. Not a fun place to be. Is he having any swelling of the joints or anything like that?

Guest eaglflyt Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) I'm so glad that his Doxy has already been started. I'm praying for quick & accurate test results and successful treatment. I hope your boy is feeling great soon ... and I'm so happy he is with his forever family through this illness. HUGS to Ollie and your family and your vet. :grouphug Shelly in OK edited to correct typo Edited December 7, 2009 by eaglflyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
