Hi Linda
WOW!!!! 48 PCV is really great news. On here, we have all seen relapses happen too often with a fast drop in medications, but sadly some vets don’t have any experience at all with this disease. It is horrible for anyone to have to go & “argue” with the vet. Hopefully, we can get across to any new owners on here that slow weaning is VITAL. Wouldn’t it be great if vets listened to us too? Dream on, Sheena!

Hi Mary-Jane
I am so pleased you have joined us! A big welcome to you. I can take no credit for creating this site – it is our wonderful Patrice who has made this possible. You know how sorry I am about your sweet girl Molly from our private e-mails. This disease is devastating & affects us all deeply, dog or cat. I know IMHA is incredibly rare, even more so in cats & I was so sad that Molly did not respond well to treatment. The pathology is different in cats from dogs, but as Patrice says, we can learn & can hopefully help other cat owners too. I know you have a very knowledgeable medical background in nursing & appreciate your taking the time to join us. Hoping your little Mable is not missing her sister quite so much now. We all understand it takes a long time to get over the loss of a much loved pet, if you ever really do.
Lots of love from your friends Worzel & Ollie (& me of course!)
I have looked around – can’t find a recording yet. It was directed at owners with little or no experience of the disease & most of us have heard the majority of it before, but it is still worth listening to. I loved the emphasis on sticky red blood cells forming clots. From their research, bee stings seem to be a pretty common trigger – more often than I thought. We have giant hornets here – they are HUGE & generally quite placid, but will sting to defend themselves if provoked. Worzel has been stung a few times as he just can’t leave anything alone – it’s too tempting to try & bite buzzy things as they fly past him! There’s always something else to worry about with this disease.
Just watched Webinar – very useful for all pet owners to recognise the signs of IMHA & understand the basic problems caused by the disease. Good emphasis on CLOTTING which you all know is one of my HUGE bug bears with some vets not taking it seriously enough. Want to hear more about liposomal (fat cell) drug delivery which was thought about as early as 1965!!- interesting.
