Take it for what it’s worth!!!
I own 2019 Pkc National champion insane x con. In 2017 he was diagnosed with eurlikia. I didn’t even know what the stuff was at the time so I was at the mercy of my vet, 30 days of doxycycline. 200 mg a day. SUMMER TIME, I gave him the doxycycline and continued to hunt him. I hunt as much or more than most do. At the end of the summer I took him back. Sluggish, eyes Madded up, start tracks he couldn’t finish, same thing. Eurlikia!! This time we did 30 dAys doxycycline at 300 mg!! At this point I’m starting to ask questions because I know the pup I’ve got is the best one I’ll ever own so there’s got to be a way of getting through it. Hunted that winter no problems what so ever, finished top 6 at the nationals that year. In the summer of 2018 I seen the same symptoms, so I took him back with a plan. IMOZOL!! I told the vet about the shot and he wanted a few days to research it. Vet agreed we was gonna attack it this time. Gave the imozol and 600 mg of doxycycline for 30 days, this time I laid him up. That year we got reserve NCH.
Is he cured? I don’t think so. I see the same things out of him when it gets hot. He just don’t feel real good. He’s been laid up a lot since the heat came on but I took him to the vet yesterday and vet says all his blood levels are good. If you have a dog you like why wouldn’t you do everything you can to treat them? I’ve hunted several dogs over the short time I’ve been at it and I wouldn’t trade Xs tail for all of em together. So whatever I got to do to make him feel better I’m gonna do. I’d suggest if you got one YOU like then I’d do the same thing. I don’t think it ever really goes away but that’s just my opinion. But I don’t give up and neither does my dog
