Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Cranky Update

Just wanted to update everyone on Cranky's progress. We went back for PCV on Saturday it was 47. His PCV has flucuated between 47-55 since I brought him home so I wont get excited until it goes below 47. At least this time we had not gained anymore weight but he is eating lots of green beans. We are going every two weeks now to the vet. I am fortunate that the office is open 24/7 365 and they have 8 vets 3 of which have treated Cranky since August3, 2007. November 3, 2007 providing no set backs we will reduce pred to 1/4 of 5mg tab. I dont know how much that is I was not very good at math but I have a pill cutter. On 11/3/07 we are having a Complete work up as we will be 90 days out. Well thats all from me. I feel so lucky and wish everyone else good luck with their babies.

Teresa,

That is wonderful news, so happy for Cranky. That is a great PCV. I look forward to the day that Holly's is that high. I don't know about a 1/4 of the 5mg, because we went to 2.5mg, cut a 5 mg in half. But that is how we have been doing the decrease starting at 10 to 7.5 to 5 to 2.5.

GO CRANKY!
