It is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for a recheck 1 to 2 weeks after it recovers from babesiosis. Babesiosis is a blood parasitic disease that easily causes anemia and needs prompt treatment, and because it tends to relapse, a return visit 1 to 2 weeks after recovery is advised.
To lower the risk of infection, deworm the dog regularly and keep its diet and living environment clean.
