We breed my dog to a female. All puppies died alstopy said cacine aids .What is it ? Do Ihave my dog checked

Answer

Hello,

My condolences; I'm so sorry you lost all the puppies.

A condition called 'Ehrlichia', a tick borne infection which adversely affects the immune system, is called the AIDS of the canine world. You can read a detailed description, here:

Yes, your dog should be tested for this condition, by your vet, because the puppies dying, indicates either your dog and/or the female, are carriers of this disease.

I hope all will be well with your dog.
