Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Good results for Kahlu

Just got the call from the vet, Kahlu has gained a couple of points again, RBC 4.7 HCT 36, so I am happy! He has been holding in those 34-36 numbers for 3 weeks now and I was hoping we could start to reduce the pred. The vet wants to wait an other week, since he seems to tolerate it. So I guess there is a little disappointment. But like it has been said before, this disease is not a matter of days or even weeks, but of months and even years. He has only been on the Thyroid med and supplements (recommended by Dr. Dodds) for a week, so the vet thought of giving them a bit more time to kick in. So we will keep at it!
Take care everybody,

I love hearing good news like this. It really gives a person hope. Kahlu is a strong girl with a very good mommy....she is a privileged girl to have you.
Take care and keep up the good fight.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you both.
