Answer 1

This is a very good journal, written by an owner of a dog with this disease.. It is a message of hope> http://www.cloudnet.com/~jdickson/

Here are many stories from Dr. Mike, DVM > http://www.vetinfo.com/dimhanemia.html

Answer 2

Initially, mine was given high doses of Pred and Azathioprine, and then weaned off to a more reasonable dose of Pred.

I don't know how much you know about this disease, but it has a very high mortality rate. But there are dogs that recover and never have any more problems with it. I lost a girl to it. I had her for another year after diagnosis, with a couple bad relapses in that year.

It has been almost 4 years since she died, I still miss her terribly.

Here is a good website.

i imagine it ought to desire to be distinct for each and each better 1/2 and toddlers dogs, yet anemia is brought about from synthetic parts, no longer sufficient foodstuff B's, iron or some drugs. It sounds like both lack of life or a functional better 1/2 and toddlers dogs foodstuff or prescription better 1/2 and toddlers dogs foodstuff is going to be next. who's certainly-known with what else? quite some money!
