Josh has his blood tests back now, its apparently Hepititis, he has a count of 300 as opposed to 100, vet says its not critical but bad enough.
You may remember he has had the runs on and off and I thought it was a dodgy tum, along with the vet.
I have looked it up on internet and there are two types, chronic and acute. Dont know which he has yet until I see vet tomorrow. But all the sites are saying it is common in dogs that are not vaccinated, Josh is up to date with all his vacs so how come he has got this....
It says it is injested from and infected dogs faeces, urine or eye discharge. I can only think he has eaten grass that another infected dog has weed upon. He is bone thin at the moment and thats typical, I feel a bit peeved here because I took him back to vet and more or less had to insist on blood tests and pooh samples to be taken and analysed. He has dropped to 33 kilo from 45 kilo (ok he was a bit portly)
Has anyone else had this with their dog, I am really worried about long term effects etc:help:
