Treatment
The first consideration for treatment is secondary infection. If there is no fever, antibiotics will be prescribed. If the dog has a fever, the treatment will be more aggressive. The dog will probably be hospitalized and antibiotics administered through an IV. If anemia is acute, a transfusion may also be necessary.
Living and Management
There will be frequent blood tests. Also, be aware of any signs of an infection, such as a fever.
