About a week ago ole possum went off her feed.  Totally out of place for her.  Second day went to the vet, all he came up with was elevated white and low red count.  Said some kind of rare tick born disease or something.  Gave antibiotics.

things wet down hill fast and the fourth night she passed.

I am a suspicious type and am wondering if a deviate could have been to her house and slipped the dog something or she got into some other sort of poison.  My wife (nurse) says the white count says something besides poisoning got her.

I gotta do some research but was wondering if someone already knows if poison would/could have the same effect on the blood count in the final stages.

I won't go into the living situation and employees since that would take a book.

Loosing ole possum was really a hit.  She even slept with the grand son.  Was a labradoodle. 

Appreciate any comments on the cause.

 

In any case, so sorry for the untimely loss of part of your family.  Good dogs are a very special part of a family, sad to see them go like any other.

The vet said it was or most likely triggered by a tick bit.
