Information

Hemolytic anemia is a disease process in which the red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen and impart a red color to blood, are destroyed, resulting in a decreased number in the bloodstream. Red blood cells supply the body with oxygen, so when there are fewer of them, the animal lacks energy and tires quickly. Hemolytic anemia is often a rapidly life-threatening condition.

General Causes

Although there are a number of potential causes for hemolytic anemia, the most common is a disease known as immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). In this disease, the body's immune system, which is designed to kill germs, instead begins to kill the animal's own red blood cells.

Some types of germs and parasites infect the red blood cells directly. These infections can result in destruction of the red cells.

Certain toxins can also cause destruction of red cells.

We suggest a combo kit of Blood Tonic Solution and Immune Restore Solution for Hemolytic Anemia and Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia in Dogs.
