We are in a similar situation with our boy dog. He is 7 and was diagnosed with Anaplasmosis 4 years ago with no symptoms. A couple weeks ago he began acting different and by last Thursday had a bit of a cough and was pretty lethargic. He is normally vibrantly healthy and so full of energy like that of a one year old pup. He was running a high fever so we took him to the vet. They said his anaplasmosis had flared up and he had a secondary respiratory infection. The vet prescribed 30 days of doxycycline. We were so worried about him, we have given him the antibiotic for 3 days and though he is feeling a bit better, he is wiped out and doesn't want to eat much. He will eat raw fruits and veggies (his normal treats), so that is what I'm feeding him for now. Along with probiotics, greens and fresh coconut yogurt. Just wondering if there is a homeopathic remedy might help rid his body of the anaplasmosis? Normally we are all natural/herbal all of the time, so having him on the high dosage of this antibiotic has been hard on him and me. Any thoughts would be so appreciated.
