what are the visible symptoms of this disease??

There has been an Articles Tab at the top of every page on this Resource since the end of 2011

So the Articles Section would be a great place to start looking

Those who bother to do so will find that the article How to Beat Babesia has been posted here since 2/27/12

I am sorry, but I have very little patience (or hope) for people who don't have the intellectual wherewithal (or even curiosity) to learn about diseases, drugs, etc. IMO, a person who just "looks at pedigrees" ... or who talks about "doing dogs" ... but who has ZERO nutrition knowledge ... ZERO disease/drug knowledge ... who doesn't even own a vet book ... and has no clue or interest in learning about anything at all having to do with the CARE of these animals is not a dogman IMO. They are cheerleaders, or fans, or whatever ... but competent, truly knowledgeable dogmen they are not.

I do appreciate all the well wishers and everyone is correct once you see the sighns you will never forget them. i have every medication listed as well as some on hand in quanities well beyond my yards needs just in case. sadly this was my first and hopefuly onle experience with this , because without the proper meds you feel utterly helpless. I had all the meds flown in and or overnighted from as far away as south africa so this will never catch me off guard again. I learn something every day and am thankful for the ones who helped me especially this site and MAL-KANT kennels. againj thanks for all the responses.

I too am sorry you lost your dog.

Call me slow, but I am just figuring out you're the one who asked about the Berenil on the other thread a week ago. (Sorry, just drove across the country, and am now in CA once again.)

She should have made it, if you gave her a blood transfusion to bide your time. Did you try giving her a blood transfusion?

I got caught with my pants down with Little Red Sonja. One day she's fine, next day she can't lift her head off the ground. Had no Berenil onhand. Rushed her to the vet and had to pay $500 for a blood transfusion (with BioPure), and then had Imizol FedExed to my vet ... and made the order to South Africa.

She made it only because of the blood transfusion ... and would surely have died without it.

I wish I would have directly told you to get a transfusion, but your vet should have done this himself (also says so in the article). If they get below a certain point, you need to bolster them back up with a transfusion while the medicine does its job.

Again, sorry about your loss,

Jack

Damn good post.

Took her to my vet had a transfusion done via a donor dog they didn't have the synthetic on had , they were having the imizol overnight delivered but my gyp didn't make it . Lesson learned , wish I didn't have to learn it this way but I did . My vet also learned from this and is now keeping on hand not only the imizol but the blood also.

A lot of vets still dont know much about it. I have been to a few vets and when i ask for the babesia test they say what is that or you dont need that test.
