Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Spencer is on rainbow bridge

Hello all, For those of you who recall reading about Spencer, he is no longer with us as of yesterday. As I write this with fresh tears running down my face, I hope Spencer is running wild over rainbow bridge feeling perfectly healthy. His blood kept dropping and of course the fungus he encountered somehow wasn't helping. My sympathies for everyone going through this. Shelby, Spencer's sister sits here with me as I type and knows that her brother wasn't well. Good luck to all and hug and kiss your pet every chance you get because all I had was exactly one perfect year with Spencer. 10/16/07 - 12/14/08 Shannon

Oh, Shannon. I am so, so sorry to hear this. I lost my boy last week and know how much it hurts. I wish I knew the right words to ease your pain. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. We have to believe that Spencer and Toby are in a better place now. Run free, sweet boys. Karen H.

Shannon, I am sure Spencer has met up with a lot of fine dogs from this site at the bridge. I am so sorry that you had such a short time with your boy. I hope the good memories of the better times help you through this awful time. Penny

It's a totally rotten deal Shannon. I felt such sadness at reading your post. My Kit (pudelpointer) was 11 months when I had to let her go. I really understand what you are going through. I feel like I barely got to know my dog and the last 10 weeks were stressful, worrisome and all that .... as I'm sure you know. My sympathies to you and your family. Ditto what you said about hug and love your dog (even if they get in trouble!) Take comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by people all around the world on this site who care. I'm so sorry.

Dear Shannon & Family: I was so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your dog Spencer. I am sure he knew how very much you loved him and how much he will be missed. We are here for you if you need us. I will make a small donation to the Morris Animal Foundation in Spencer's memory and perhaps someday a better treatment can be found With sadness, Cheryl & Ginger

Shannon, I am saddened to hear about the loss of Spencer. I think you guys were probably here before our time here, nonetheless, we are all connected by this awful disease. It sounds like Spencer had an especially hard time, and fought for a long time. We are so sorry to hear this, please accept our deepest sympathies. melissa and tiggs
