Huh, that's a name for babesiosis I'd never heard of before.

The chronic course of piroplasmosis occurs in dogs that have previously been infected or in animals with increased body resistance. This form of the disease is characterized by anemia, muscle weakness and emaciation. At the beginning of the disease in animals noted lethargy, rapid fatigue, variable appetite. Body temperature rises to 40-41' C only at first, and then decreases to normal or may be slightly higher or lower than normal. Periods the dog health improves and depression sets in again. Bright yellow diarrhea is not uncommon. The duration of the disease is 3-8 weeks. The disease usually ends with gradual recovery.

*nods* I'm relatively familiar with the human course of the disease, but not with animals.

At first we couldn't tell from the tests that he had piroplasmosis at all) Even his symptoms were very mild. His vitals were good and we thought he just had gastritis. The exacerbation started after a week or two. None of the doctors could determine what was wrong with him. Since chronic piroplasmosis is very rare.

I hope your dog can be treated and recovers soon! I'm so sorry this has happened to you. :(

Thank you so much for your wish! Archie is much better after the babesia serum. But we had a new complication in the form of a microstroke..... (That's just a doctor's guess). not to mention that it takes time for his kidneys and liver to recover.
Now I'm waiting to do a cardiac ultrasound and check his full condition. Hope for the best. 🙏
