The detail information of Hemolytic anemia
Basic Information

Disease Description: Anemia caused by the destruction of the red blood cells by an autoimmune process. Particularly common in cocker spaniels and Old English sheepdogs, as well as several other breeds.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: Symptoms include: Pale gums; Weakness; Lethargy; Lack of willingness to exercise; Fainting; Dizziness ;Difficulty breathing, or breathing rapidly ;Disorientation; Yellowing of the mucous membranes; Poor appetite ;Vomiting

Disease Cause: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in dogs may be either primary or secondary.

Disease Diagnose: The veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination, and will focus on a test called a complete blood count, or CBC.Further evaluations may include serologic blood tests to check for parasites, a Coombs test to check for antibodies, and lab testing for finding the specific number or percentage of immature blood cells, known as reticulocytes. Other testing will continue, especially if the veterinarian suspects a secondary cause for your dog’s hemolytic anemia. The veterinarian may perform a biochemistry profile to check for the functionality of his organs, urinalysis to check for kidney function and for any urinary tract infection, chest x-rays to test for cancer within the lungs, abdominal x-rays to test for cancer, as well as an abdominal ultrasound.

Treat Method: Treatment methods may vary, depending on the specific cause of your dog’s hemolytic anemia. If your dog has this autoimmune disorder, either primary or secondary in nature, treatment methods may include: Blood Transfusion;Immunosuppressive Therapy;Specific Treatments
