Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Abby: 8 yr old American Eskimo - Update

Hello,
It's been a quite a ride. Earlier last week, our vet was concerned that Abby had PRCA. Thankfully, she had enough reticulocytes to rule that out. She's had one transfusion. She is on dexamethasone and cyclosporine. Her PCV today was 28 (up from 25 on Sat). Hopefully, she continues to improve.

The vet wants to start tapering the desamethasone because her AST and ALT were elevated.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Kim,

Our hearts and hopes are riding with you. At least the PCV numbers are on an upward trend.

Keep fighting the good fight for your furry friend.
