Hi!

My dog was diagnosed anaplasmosis. She got treatment for 30 days with doxycycline. Before the treatment blood test sample from serum said:

Anaplasma phagozytophilum (Antibody, IFAT)

A.phago-Ab: 1:320 , but after treatment: 1:1280
(Interpretation titers 1:40 and higher are considered positive).

What does it mean? Was the treatment successful? My doctor said, that new result shows, that body fights for the bacteria, but it doesn´t really say anything to me. Shouldn´t bacteria be gone for now (30 days after treatment)?

Dog is feeling well, she have had no complaints and her organs work well. What we should do now? Our doctor said, there is nothing to do and we have to make blood tests once in a year to control her kidneys.

Thank you for your answer!
