Mixed breed's question about Parasitic Blood Infection (Haemobartonellosis)

Question

Good evening,

The vet provided a total of 4 injections (1 for antibiotics and 1 for multivitamins but i cant remember the other two) as initial treatment for my dog due to blood parasite. Is that enough to treat the infection? Im asking since the medicines prescribed by the doctor are too expensive and my parents aren't willing to pay for it. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

Hello
If your pet has a blood-borne parasite, it is recommended to give him all of the medications that your veterinarian recommends. They will help treat the infection and make your pet feel better. The initial injections help the medicine get in his system faster, but then you have to follow up with oral medications daily. Unfortunately that is not optional, unless your parents do not want their pet to get better. Good luck.
