Attempted treatment of canine ehrlichiosis with imidocarb dipropionate.
Six clinical and 10 experimentally-induced cases of canine ehrlichiosis were treated with imidocarb dipropionate. The treatment did not result in clinical cure and failed to sterilize the infection. The infection was successfully transmitted from treated dogs to splenectomized and non-splenectomized dogs.
