Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Charlie news july 6

Hi everyone, Charlie had his 4 weeks check today and his PCV is back up to 46 after going down to 42 last month. He also lost some weight!! We are reducing his prednisone and of course I am freaking out a little bit. But like I have always said I trust charlies vet and know he is there for me if I need him. Thanks for keeping charlie in your prayers carol

Way to go Charlie! That's such good news to hear. I know what you mean about freaking out about reducing his pred. I've been reducing Tessy's every week from 50mg....she's now at 15mg/day. She seems to be getting better with each reduciton. I hope the same thing will happen with Charlie. Thoughts and prayers go out otp Charlie. Johnny & Tessy

thanks everyone, it means so much to talk to people who know what i have been through, and who are going through the same thing. People who understand the rollercoaster. Charlie is doing so well, I only wish that all dogs would respond so well. The pred reduction is so nerve racking, but we are on our way to no meds, i can feel it! thanks again for all the kind words! doodle hugs carol and charlie

Carol

Congratulations for Charlie! Sounds like he is stable and on a good path!
