Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Immune disorders & Nutrition

Just wanted to share a site I found.
http://www.malamutehealth.org/articles/immune.htm
It's geared for Malamutes but has good info on Immune disorders and Nutrition. I have been reading elsewhere about a raw diet.
I like this site on raw-

-but not sure I should change his diet right now...Does anyone have any additional knowledge about dietary changes that could help with AIHA?

Hi Allison

Talk to your vet about a change of diet. I considered changing Georgie's diet when I read about the raw meaty bones diet. My specialist vet was against this. She explained that most vets would be purely because they are funded/supported by pet food companies when they are training. She explained that as Georgie needed a bland diet of rice and chicken that I could be getting into allsorts of problems if I switched to raw especially as her immune system was already compromised. I trusted her and chose not to. I still do not regret this even though we lost Georgie due to complications.
Hope that is some use
