Can Terramycin IV treat Anaplasmosis in dogs, and is it fatal?

Question

Hi, Just wanted to know whether Anaplasmosis can be treated and can be cured by terramycin iv? I'd not suggest my vet until I know that Terramycin can't be used as treatment at all(considering it's very difficult to find a good Vet in India). And also please be informed that the vet suggested to inject these through saline. DNS would probably stand for dextrose normal saline. We are planning to start the treatment (suggested by Vet from tomorrow).Could you please tell, whether this can be fatal! Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 2 years and 3 months old | 57 lbs

So Terramycin is also called Oxytetracycline, and has been indicated for the treatment of Anaplasmosis, but it is just not used regularly here in the U.S. It is not a drug that is toxic to pets, so no it is not going to be fatal. Pets can have reactions to just about any medication however, so please do monitor Ghontu and report any adverse reactions that can occurs (excessive vomiting, lethargy, etc). Dextrose normal saline is a fluid that has more sugar in it for pets that are not eating well. It can be used safely in your pet and should really be used under the guidance and monitoring of your veterinarian to ensure no complications there. I do hope that this answers your questions and also hope that Ghontu feels better soon! Take care.
