Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - I got great news last night

I am so excited to post that Willow's platelets were 159,000 yesterday and we have completely stopped the Prednisone. She's been on it since July so this is HUGE!!

Her liver and kidneys looked good too and the vet said she was "actually really pleased with these results." She did have one elevated level on the liver profile, the alkaline phosphate but it wasn't really high and she wasn't too worried.

I want to let everyone know that the Denosyl and Marin that Willow took completely turned the liver profile around. Her liver was very inflammed a month ago. So, definately worth the money if needed.

Thanks for all your support!

I know in two weeks we could need to put her back on it but for now I'm trying to enjoy the moment.

Lori,
What great news to receive!!! Just fantastic news. Holly goes for her blood work on Monday, and if need be with her liver numbers I will for sure order the Denosyl as suggested by Dr Dodds. Thanks for the information. And again congratulations!!!
