I have 3 outside dogs that roam the pastures. Two of them seemed I’ll, discharge around eyes and losing weight,urinating frequently, stiff joints. One is about 3 years old the other was 5-7 both females. The 3 yr old was the worst so I took her to the vet. She had a fever and white blood cell count of 50,000. Was thought to be Rocky Mountain tick fever. Was put on antibiotics for 2 weeks. Dog was not improving. In the meantime I had the other dog put down as she had gotten worse, after 2 weeks on antibiotics the younger dog showed improvement. Now she has declined, eye discharge, body and face shrunken in and extreme weight loss. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be, it is odd two of the 3 dogs had this, try he third is perfectly healthy. Sick dog is a Australian Shepherd mix.
