Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

...I am only responding because no one else has - and can only offer the following One of which is a series of threads on this site that talk about AIHA (see below for link) and the others are a few articles about this condition - which you probably are already aware of - but, just in case they...

Hi, I am looking for others who have had experience with their cat/kitten having an autoimmune disorder such as AIHA? Our 7 month old kitten recently passed, and I have a lot of guilt wondering what we might have done wrong. He was a normal, thriving kitten who was fixed at 4 months old, and was...

I am so sorry for your loss. I don't have any experience with my own pets having AIHA (typically now called IMHA, or immune mediated hemolytic anemia), but I was a vet tech in a hospital that treated some IMHA patients. It is absolutely not your fault. Anemias that can be caused by diet are...

**UPDATE*** For anyone who has been following my post regarding IMHA (AIHA)....I requested Gurgie's blood work, and it showed suspicious spherocytes cells, as well as high levels in his ALT.....both of which are linked to IMHA. The rest of his bloodwork was normal (including WBC), however some...

Thank you. It is just so hard not to feel the guilt.

...evening, and her overall counts were below normal but not dangerous and they didn’t diagnose her then. They said it was either a tick disease or AIHA, and did not at all prepare me for what the hell that meant was about to happen. They gave me Prednisone and Doxy. By Sunday I was at the...

I am so sorry about your little boy. Your are heartbroken now and looking for answers. I had a cat who developed IMHA when he was about 13 years old. We kept him going for a couple of years with several blood transfusions, immune suppressants, and hormones; all very expensive. I can tell you...

I don't know if all the symptoms fit, but I wonder if it's AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in Cats). It can be triggered by a vaccine or any other immune challenge; basically the immune system just goes crazy in response to the trigger. Maybe you could look some stuff up and see if the vets...

Sorry not to respond before to all your kind thoughts & advice. Dillon has laid flat on his right side & barely moved for the past 24 hours. He is still in pain, altho not crying out so long as he stays still. I THINK (not 100% sure) THAT HE CANNOT MOVE HIS FRONT LEGS EITHER NOW. I only noticed...

...in her system (she usualmu gets 5mg 1-2x/week). She’s been on the low doses it for six years due to manage autoimmune issues (specifically, an AIHA disaster) and moderate seasonal allergies in the spring. However, weighing the pros and cons, I stopped them last week when Gus got sick. (Last...

...again, he's energetic, and he's even heavier now than he was when this started. Getting nice and fat! I'm thinking that Boots doesn't have AIHA or IMHA at all, since his liver cell count was great when the ordeal began. The LGPS condition that Momofmany mentioned seems a lot closer, but...

...of the corona virus, but the other illness you mentioned sounds like it is having more of an affect on Princess. Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) sounds like a very rough disease because it attacks the cat's own red blood cells, and makes them anemic and weak. And the immune system...

I doubt she could live with cancer that long.  It sounds like - based both on symptoms and on treatments, that its IBD (which can in time progress to cancers like small cell lymphoma). Have she ever had an ultrasound or has your vet suggested this?  It would be a great (best really) way to see...

...me a liquid b complex and told me to up the pred back up to 1/2 pill daily.  Vet is basically stumped, but thinks it could be cancer, IBS, or AIHA.  After about a week and a half of daily pred and daily vit b, I could not tell a change. So, basically feeling like I didn't have anything to...

Just because this thread already has a good collection of important links, I thought I'd add this one, and article found by Auntie Crazy. http://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/purdue-vaccination-studies/ From the article:

...goes out to you. My Liz had her first bout with anemia as a result of a haywire immune response last September, and my vet is treating as IMHA/AIHA. Very,  very scary stuff, I know. I can't speak to the bleeding from the gums (her problem was abysmally low HCT, rather than platelets -...

I urge you not to have her vaccinated at her age, and especially not if she isn't 100% healthy. http://svmweb.vetmed.wisc.edu/default.aspx?inject=viewannouncement&itemid=39&mid=164&keyword=vaccinationsp http://www.truthaboutvaccines.org/docs/draftSub.html

My poor cat Tom has come down with this rare disease, and I am still at a loss about it He is almost 4 years old, and has been fighting this disease for almost a year now. He has regular blood tests to check his red cell blood count and they have varied from 6 - 23 (should be around 25 i...

...I got him from someone in the paper, I have no history to check this with. When I spoke to the vet, he said that he has never seen a cat with AIHA in all his years of practice (and he must be in his 50's!). It is more of a dog disease. This could explain the total lack of information on the...
