Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - we need a miracle

Well to say the least I am devestated. My poor Coco has nodules all through her lungs and kidney as well as two masses in her liver. They are doing the transfusion but only to buy her time to come home and be with her family before she passes. I didn't want her last memories to be of a sterile kennel and an iv drip. According to my vet with this extent of cancer the transfusion won't stay successful for long as that is probably why just we haven't had the good luck with the drugs and transfusions that everyone else has had. Please pray for the miracle we so desperately need right now...Kelly and Coco

Dear Kelly I am so deeply sorry to hear this devastating news. This was not what I was expecting and I am heart broken for you. You are doing such a wonderful thing for Coco in taking her home where she is happiest and being with her to the end. Thinking of you and dear Coco. With tears in my eyes, I hope for that miracle for Coco. Samantha.

Kelly, I am so very sorry. I hope that you do get to bring your girl home. That was my biggest regret when I lost my Salome and her sister Delilah. I wanted them to be at home surrounded by love. You and Coco have fought so hard and I will be praying for that miracle. Take care, Penny

Dear Kelly, I am so sorry. I am glad that you are able to bring Coco home with you. When Chance was first seen in 2007 for a mass on his spleen, I lived through about a week of knowing that he might have the same condition that Coco has. In the end, he did not, it was benign. But I felt somewhat desperate and at the same time peacefully resigned that he might be living only for a few weeks more. I thought it might be too hard for someone like myself, who always wants to be in control, to just let go and live through the time we had left. It was not. I hope my story will help you find some peace during this difficult time. I will be thinking about Coco tonight patrice

Kelly, We wish you much love, peace and comfort as you spend Coco's final physical days together. When the time is right, may she run pain free at the Bridge. Thinking of you, melissa and tiggs

Kelly, So sadened to hear about Coco, you and your family and Coco are in our prayers. So glad you are bringing her home to be with you. You will need this time to be with her and say goodbye. We did that with another dog of ours years ago when they said she had kidney failure, we brought her home and it was the best decision for all of us to make. Coco will certainly feel your love at home. Take care, Linda

Dear Kelly -- I am so saddened to hear the news about Coco. I hope you can bring her home too. But the important thing is that you did all you could for her. I know you'll cherish the time you have with her, and whenever she departs, she will go enveloped in your love for her. And, she will know.
