Need help for sick puppy!


Unfortunately the puppy we brought back from TS last month has a raging case of
Erlichia!!! The new owner has been spending a fortune at a vet who knows nothing
about the disease. The puppy is being treated with Doxycycline but here in Canada
we cannot get it li liquid form. Dulce is 4 lbs and so her new family is trying to get
1/8th of a tablet into her!!!!
My question, is there anyone who could find out what the proper dosage would be
for a 4 lb puppy that has a very high antibody titre (raging case!) I have found a
compounding pharmacy that will compound the medication but we need to make sure
she is getting the proper dosage.
If anyone who is in La Paz reads this, I am sure Dr Thomas Rodriqez 011-52-612-1225662. would help. Tell him it is one of Janet and Maryann's rescues!!!




Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Dr Tomas was not in. His partner said, 200 mg, divided. In other words, 100 mg twice a day
