I'm asking for help for my daughter Amber's 5-year-old dog, Draco.

Draco's antibodies are attacking his red blood cells. He was at Prospect Veterinary Hospital Monday through Thursday, April 9, for tests, treatments, and a blood transfusion. Prospect Veterinary Hospital sent us to Newtown Veterinary Specialist. Newtown Veterinary Specialist sent us to Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals. He had to be in ICU for another blood transfusion and to get him stable for a plasma exchange. This will take most of his plasma out that is attacking his blood cells and replace it with healthy plasma. Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) in dogs is a severe, often fatal autoimmune disease where the immune system destroys its own red blood cells, causing severe anemia. Symptoms include pale gums, lethargy, dark urine, and collapse. Treatment involves intensive care, immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., prednisone), and blood transfusions, with a 30%–70% mortality rate.
