Day 2 of inpatient. Sep 22, 2018.
3 weeks ago, anorexia. Test showed she had tick fever (Anaplasma antibodies only).

3 weeks later, this dog came back, owing to persistent vomiting. 
Blood test showed liver disorder, anaemia, positive antibodies for Anaplasma and Babesia now. Treated with 2nd injection of Imidox and IV drips.  

This case study teaches owners that a second anti-tick fever injection 2 weeks after the first is important. The owner thought the dog had recovered her appetite. So, she did not turn up. The dog also had high total white cell count. 

Tick fever needs 2 injections 2 weeks apart as recommended.
