Why is it important?
My findings show that for optimum prevention of Ehrlichiosis relapse, the complete course of treatment must be followed and the immune system watched closely while boosting the immune system.
Perspectives
It was a pleasure to write this article, this case was personally handled by me while I practiced in Lagos, and I always thought it’s an experience worth sharing to both veterinary professionals and pet parents. I’m glad it is finally out there to help others navigate the disease and its recalcitrant recurrence.
