I don't know why trilt would not like canine brucellosis.
I had the saddest case involving brucellosis actually. I mean the whole circumstances were sad. <1year old FS Labrador, ate pieces of a frisbee so had rads at rDVM. They saw disko, which the dog was asymptomatic for. Referred to neuro. We talked to owner, said ah this will be fine, started cepha, sent out titers for bad infectious things "just to be sure." Brucella positive. Background on dog: lives with immunocompromised elderly owner, young grandchildren, was bought for young grandchildren after their parents died a tragic death in a car accident. Elderly owner's husband (kids' grandfather) also recently died. Dog is basically kids' best friend. Now has to be reported to county and owner is totally freaked out about the Brucella thing. As far as I know the dog is still alive and asymptomatic for disko but I don't think that we can be sure that the Brucella ever 100% clears so this person has to be super vigilant for the rest of the dog's life now.
