Can anaplasmosis be spread via saliva or feeding in cattle dogs?

Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease, not a saliva or feeding-borne disease. While cattle dogs can get anaplasmosis, it's not spread through their saliva or by them feeding on cattle.

Here's how anaplasmosis is transmitted:

* Ticks: The primary way anaplasmosis is spread is through the bite of infected ticks, mainly brown dog ticks and American dog ticks.

* Blood Transfusions: Anaplasmosis can be spread through blood transfusions from infected animals.

Cattle dogs can get anaplasmosis, but they don't transmit it through saliva or feeding on cattle. If a cattle dog is infected with anaplasmosis, it's likely because they were bitten by an infected tick.

Important Note: If you suspect your cattle dog may have anaplasmosis, it's crucial to take them to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
