Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Haven't seen any new posts
| I haven't seen any one post lately. I am just concerned for all of you and your Fur Friends. I hope that everyone is okay and wish the best For everyone that has had to deal with these terrible diseases. Lucky remains at the Vets. Office and will be leaving to be cremated Wed. We are still heart broken and missing a big part of our family. I don't want this to happen to any of you. I just hope that this finds you and yours well. |

| Hi Kathy, It has been quiet here this weekend...Bentley has been doing ok. We go to the vet tomorrow for another recheck, so I'll be posting once I get those results back. I'm hoping his kidney function has improved, as well as his HCT and WBC. We are still trying to stabilize him. He's on big doses of three immuno-suppresants at this point. I know the pain you are feeling....we had a 16 yr old pup (also named Lucky!) that had to be put down earlier this year. We also had her cremated, and I have the box of her ashes now. There is always an empty spot in my heart when I lose a furbaby. I hope in time this eases for you and your family. All my best, Sally |

| Good Morning Sally. I Hope that Bentley continues doing okay. We found a Man in another State that does Pet Portraits. He will be doing an oil painting of Lucky for Luckys Little Girl. Got a Beautiful Sympathy card with Rainbow Bridge in it today in the mail from Luckys Vet. I am up because a little 8 year old(autistic) boy went missing today. The Helicopters and search team are all over this Mountain. He's in the forest and they can't find him. :( At times when we feel that we have it so bad, some one has it worse. Thoughts and Prayers will continue for all that are going through this with these lovable fur friends of yours. I've been checking here to see if Maris is okay. The last post didn't sound to good. Hope that you Have a Good Morning! |

| Good Morning, Kathy :) Prayers for that sweet little boy....I can't imagine how scary that is for him, and the fear his family is feeling. Prayers also for Lucky's Little Girl...I love how you phrase that, and it is so true how strong our bond is with our furbabies. It is so hard on the kids when this happens....I hope the Rainbow Bridge poem and the portrait of Lucky gives her some comfort. Sending you both a hug, Sally |

| Thank you Sally, I sure hope that this finds Bentley doing better this morning. I still cry about Lucky, Just try not to do it in front of Luckys little girl. I wish that I had known about this site when Lucky was first diagnosed. You are all so knowledgeable and give some good advice. They have not found little Joshua. He remains lost in the forest. We just had a Bad Thunder storm with a lot of hail. Loud noises scare the little guy. Thoughts and Prayers Continue for him and his family. :( I hope that You and Bentley have a Great Day and that Bentley continues in better health. Take care, Kathy |

| Well, Kathy I will be taking Tori in for a blood test to see how her platelets are doing. We've increaased the predinsone, so I pray it will do the job necessary. To fight so hard to overcome the odds of IMHA, only to now face the challenges of Evans Syndrome. My heart goes out to all of you with ailing doggies. Blessings, Cindi & Tori (IMHA/Evans Syndrome) |

| Hi Kathy, Very sorry for your loss. I had intended to comment on your original post, but I have been busy trying to get my life back in order after my fight for Dylan's life exhausted me. I saw so many people step up to help too. Such a wonderfiul place this is. I have been in tears once again reading your story. I certainly wish every dog could make it and that money was never an object for any of them. My AIHA dog, Dylan, is doing very well at them moment. Off all meds and recovering muscle. Still vigilant for any possible relapse. I too lost a dog last year who was a huge part of my life. I love the painting idea for your Lucky. I have a wonderful pastel of Jagger done by a friend from one of my favorite photos. It holds the most special place in my house and my heart and I am sure once you are over some of the pain from your loss, that you may really enjoy what it can bring. My dog Jagger was on the floor with me in spirit when I thought for sure I was going to lose Dylan from anemia. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.117597594962330.33430.100001362714581&l=a4f64c3906&type=1 Having Dylan make it through her battle with AIHA to get to where she is becoming herself again I am extremely grateful for, especially after losing Jagger to cancer, where there was absolutely nothing I could do to save her. It was hard work for Dylan, but worth every once of effort. Once again, I am very sorry you lost Lucky to this terrible disease. Richard & Dog Dylan |
