Why is my dog still testing positive for e Canis after treatment?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 81.5 lbs

Is it common to find traces of e Canis in the blood report for dogs even after 4 months after imidocub has been given whilst all other aspects of the blood report remain normal . Is there a further treatment or risk to the dog

If Buddy was already treated for me canines and is clinically normal right now I would not worry about a positive test result. You can discuss with his vet but many tests are for antibodies to the disease. Which will still be circulating in the blood from the initial infection. It does not necessarily mean there is an active infection at this time.
