Pyroplasmosis in dogs - symptoms and treatment at home
Terrible symptoms of the disease are associated with the development of jaundice in the dog (increased bilirubin), then anemia occurs, cardiac activity sharply decreases. The urine becomes red in this case. The animal refuses to eat, becomes sluggish, and in a few days, its death occurs.

There are no common approaches, recipes, drugs suitable for everyone. Therefore, if you are not a veterinarian, immediately give up attempts at self-treatment of pyroplasmosis in dogs with any drugs, especially folk remedies.
