Hemolytic Anemia in dogs and thrombocytopenia in dogs are blood disorders. When both conditions are immune-mediated, the dog’s immune system fights and destroys red blood cells or platelets in the dog’s system.
Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) occurs when red blood cells get destroyed. And when platelets get destroyed, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) occurs.
Up to half of the time, IMHA in dogs and ITP in dogs happen together and can rapidly become life-threatening. Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in dogs can occur for unknown reasons or other diseases like cancer or infectious diseases and exposure to some medications or harmful substances.
