Description

The article describes a case of Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia in a dog. There is a description of the dynamic of the disease before and after the beginning of treatment with immunosuppressive drugs (Prednisolone and Azathioprine).

There is a discussion for the approach to such clinical presentation and the application of a successful therapeutic strategy.
