A family once owned a beautiful golden retriever. Like all healthy dogs, it loved to roam around the house, play in the lawn, but one fine morning, the family noted something unusual. The dog had lost all of its energy, it was cornered, and it refused to eat in the morning. It was not a mood off; family grew more tensed when they discovered that dog had difficulty in moving and finally the worst showed up- a seizure, the dog was immediately taken to a nearby vet. The dog had Canine Anaplasmosis. It is commonly known as dog fever; more precisely it is the dog tick fever which is transmitted from the deer tick.
