Conclusion:
We present here a case of suspected ARDS associated with Babesia
canis vogeli infection in a young dog with successful application of
some ARDSnet lung-protective strategies in MV and favorable outcome.
While this dog made a full recovery, veterinary clinicians should be
vigilant of this potential complication of babesiosis, and know that
while successful treatment is possible, more data are necessary to
comment on the prognosis and applications of lung-protective MV in dogs
with suspected ARDS.
