Welcome to the forum Karen! I am sorry you have to go through this disease with Mystique. I hope things are going as well as can be expected and you have a good, knowledgeable vet on board. If you have any questions please start a new thread and ask away. I am sure some one here can help. Best wishes,

Hi Karen,

I am glad you have found us! I have split off your post to a new topic just for you.

Do you have questions you would like to ask?  We have many folks here who have been through this disease with their dogs and can help you.

Please let us know what your vet has done so far and what medications have been prescribed.

my best, patrice

Hello Karen

I’m really sorry to hear about Mistique having IMHA – it’s a tough diagnosis to hear from your vet – but pleased you’ve found us. Everyone on here has experience with this disease &  we would love to help you in any way we can. My greyhound Worzel was diagnosed 7th Dec 2012 at the age of 12 (probably older  as he is a rescue boy!)  & is doing well now (touch wood) despite being seriously ill. It is really important for our dogs to get good treatment & the people on this forum helped me immensely with their knowledge, kindness  &  support when I needed it. Giving us details on tests & treatment will help us to help you.

Hoping to hear from you soon, Sheena, Worzel & Ollie

Hi Karen

I’m sorry to hear about Mystique’s diagnosis.  As Sheena said, it’s terrifying to hear this from your vet.

She’s a beautiful little girl and I love her name.

How is she coping with the drugs?

My very best,

Vally & Bingo

Hi Karen, I also have an older dog. Diablo is a miniature schnauzer and was diagnosed at 13.5 and is now 14.5. This forum has helped me so much over the last year.

Hello Karen. So sorry for the reason, but glad you’re here with us.  My 4 year old cocker spaniel, Sadie, was diagnosed with this dreaded disease in March 2013. This group helped me save Sadie’s life.  They are knowledgeable and most tender.

 

With IMHA/AIHA, there are some basics medical needs upon diagnosis. Could you tell us a little more about your precious Mistique?

 

I also check FB and am friends with a few there, as are the others here, and they are wonderful too. But when it comes to figuring it all out, you can never have enough solid information.

 

Hang in there. It’s an emotional roller coaster. We’re here for you.

 

Sending love to you and Mistique (darling pic!),
