Guest savvytwh Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Doxycycline isn't effective against Babesia. Since the dog doesn't have symptoms, I would probably continue to monitor but would do that by sending to North Carolina State University's tick lab for PCR rather than titer. Where can I direct my friend to the info about Doxycycline? Thanks for the info savvytwh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Some good info about the various tick diseases here: http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/vth/ticklab.html . I'm sure they would be happy to consult with your friend's vet if need be. Best luck to him and his pupper!
