Meisha's Hope - A Guide to Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia |
|
|
Meisha, a lab/terrier/spaniel mix, was 3 years old when she was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), also known as immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), in January of 1992. Her doctor said that if she survived the initial crisis she might live 2 or 3 more years. Meisha lived for 9 years & 10 months after her AIHA diagnosis. She died on November 23, 2001. The visual autopsy indicated that perhaps she had died of cancer, however the results of the tissue autopsy revealed she died of amyloidosis probably caused by the long-standing AIHA. This site is dedicated to her and all the other dogs and their families who struggle with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
