Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia in a Cocker Spaniel

Author
Olenick, Vanessa P.
Abstract
Callie Hevner, a five year old female spayed cocker spaniel, presented to the Cornell
University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) on March 18, 2003 for evaluation of signs suggestive
of liver disease. Subsequent to extensive workup and evaluation over a one-month period, she
represented to CUHA on April 17 with signs of mucosal pallor, lethargy and exercise
intolerance, anorexia, and generalized malaise. Physical examination and workup were
consistent with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia ("IMHA") and that disease subsequently
became the focus of her treatment and care.
The purpose of this seminar is to explore the pathogenesis of IMHA, its typical
presenting scenario, treatment, and prognosis. Using Callie as a model we shall discuss the
nature of this disease, and delve into the variants of presentation and treatment.
