More "kind of" bad news last week. I brought Ditto in for a simple Bordatella shot and ended up finding out he's positive for tick fever...argh! I found out today tho that it's just a mild case and antibiotics should take care of it. It isn't transmittable either so Rusty should be ok, although I may have him tested just in case. Tick fever is pretty nasty if it's untreated. It attacks bone marrow so some dogs have trouble walking and need blood transfusions. Boy I hope Ditto is cured by the meds!!
