Mar 29, 2015. A 2-month-old puppy, adopted 9 days ago from a dog welfare organisation rehoming strays,  is lethargic and had fever. He had been vaccinated before adoption.  He has anaemia and his white cell count was low. He looks better after one day of in-patient treatment with drips and antibiotics. The puppy was negative for canine parvoviral and distemper antigen test. Blood test showed low red and white cell count. Likely to be tick fever. Anti-tick fever injection is given first. 
The puppy had a ravenous appetite yesterday (video by my assistant Naing) after drip with anti-fever and antibiotics and was sent home after one day of in-patient, to recuperate and observe. Blood test for Babesiosis and Ehrlichia have not been performed yet.  

The owner said 2 other siblings are sick.
