Advice

My eight year old minie schnauzer was diagnosed last week with AIHA. She is very sick and I would appreciate any advice from anyone on how to help her.

Paula-

I have a dog AND a human in my house with AIHA. This freaks our vet and
Jim’s doctors out! Dogs are fairly easy to treat and will not necessarily
have relapses, according to our vet. Our dog is on prednisone…no
transfusions, no chemo, no splenectomy…just pills. So far so good.

Jim on the other hand…he is going through his second course of
Retuxan…but has only had to have 6 transfusions this time (14 last time).
His AIHA has developed into CAD (cold agglutinin disease) as well.
