a
The C6 levels in samples from dogs L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L8, L9, and L10 were <10 U/ml at the initial time point and remained <10 U/ml at all time points tested.
b
Time points that did not occur at 3, 6, or 12 months were adjusted to the nearest value, which was typically within ±1 month.
c
AM, amoxicillin; LD, low dose of doxycycline; HD, high dose of doxycycline.
