My dog Layla was recently hospitalized after testing positive for Ehrlichia, a tick borne disease despite being on prevention. Her blood work showed high liver enzymes, low blood platelets and potentially anemia. She was hospitalized at Points East Vet Specialty Hospital in Wilson, NC after 5 vet visits. No one could really tell me what the absolute cause of why her blood work looked the way it did. At Points East, she had an ultrasound that showed an enlarged liver and started on antibiotics for Ehrlichia. She stayed in the hospital for 4 days. She was able to come home over the weekend with hopes she’d feel more comfortable at home to eat. She’d lost almost 14 pounds in three weeks. Unfortunately, I had to take her back to Points East today so they could place a feeding tube and start two other antibiotics. If this care plan doesn’t decrease her liver enzymes, it’s recommended she see an internal medicine specialist. If you know me personally, you know my dogs are my life. I’m the crazy Husky lady. I lost my first Husky Lennox not even a year ago and now Layla’s fighting to get back healthy. It’s been a very long and stressful three weeks of trying to find veterinarians that would listen and want to help find a cause and treatment plan for Layla. Even if you’re unable to donate, please help by sharing. I appreciate any help, whether it be donations, sharing or thoughts and prayers!
