[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 389612, member: 337"] Yes - they did the panel and it was positive for [I]Anaplasma phagocytophilum[/I]. He doesn't exhibit signs of arthritis - humps his fluffy toys like a teenager often (he's fixed - so it's a confused hump of course). But they can't know by the panel if he'd had anaplas but had gotten over it already... or if it was the current (active) cause of his ailments at the time. Know what I'm saying?... it's not definitive, The anti-biotics didn't fix it first round (three weeks?) - and the second round was longer (six weeks??) BUT the 2nd round included prednisone for inflammation. Looking back... was it simply Addison's all along? Very confusing to figure out - just glad my wife and I discovered that small pred doses has him "permanently" on the mend. I know there's a test for Addison's... but what's the point, since pred is the recommended fix if it came back positive. [/QUOTE]
