Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Madison is medication free today!!!

So happy today have to tell you all... Madison had her monthly blood test and groom (she looks so gorgeous) and she had great results PVC 48.. The vet said no more medication... The last month she has been on 1/2 Imuran every 3rd day and her PVC has still continued to increase. The 7 month rollercoast has all been worth the effort, i really am trying now not the worry about her constantly and just be get back to normality. I am only going to check her gums every 2nd day not every day :o) Madison is back to her normal self. She has started to lose a bit of weight and is very engergetic for 8 years old. She is keeping up with our 2 years old Kelpie and bossing him and our other Shiz-tu male around. She is the boss again - my little Diva... I wish all of you success and just remember it can happen. Madison was only given a 20% chance of making it through the first night she was diagnosed. Samantha & Madison

Dear Samantha & Madison, CONGRATULATIONS Madison!!!! How inspiring you both are to all who visit this forum. I think Madison was diagnosed just a bit before my little Millie, so I've followed Madison's progress closely. Millie's a little behind in the med reductions (probably because her PCV did not increase as quickly as Madison's), but it has been such a comfort to me that Madison has done so well! Wishing you both all the very best for continued good health. Samantha & Millie.
