bulldog24 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I came across this website for an animal lab(I have no connection to) that tests pets for many different things that may be of interest toour pandas/pans kiddos, like strep pneumonia,strep pyogenes, mycoplasma to name a few I cant recall posting it before so here it goes http://www.zoologix.com/dogcat/Menu.htm If anyone uses the lab please let me know. prices and directions included.

mdmom Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 We have so many things floating around our house that rather than do expensive testing on the dog and cat, I begged the vet to put them both on abx. After she heard that we are dealing with Mycoplasma, Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia and Brucella, she was more than happy to put them both on doxycycline for 8 weeks. Don't know if it helped, but I figured it couldn't hurt. From what I've read, it's really unknown how some of these infections are spread and if they are airborne. Our LLMD says that a lot of Lyme docs are finding that if the entire family isn't treated for some infections (even without positive testing), no one gets well. When I heard this, you can bet I ran right to our vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog24 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I think you are right on. It will save a lot of money to approach it this way. Just make sure you get an antibiotic that covers as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
