Hi,
After watching the Empower Hour on IMHA, I noticed that Dr. Villaneuva mentioned a possibility of performing a splenectomy, she inferred that it was a bad idea, I thought. Was wondering if anyone can tell me why? She didn't really say.
Also, I have heard of several dogs being diagnosed with this, and some have rejected the transfusions, and some have just been euthanized after the diagnosis, not sure how soon after diagnosis. It seems she only has treated a few cases, but I'm wondering how many of those animals recovered?
Thanks,
Alice
