Oh bless her, glad that has come back as nothing sinister and that Jessie is improving. Not heard of that before, so info would be very useful. Xx

This is the info that my vet gave me . IMHA immune mediated haemolytic anaemia Is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in dogs. Severe anaemia caused by products of antibodies targeting red blood cells. Middle aged cockers prone to  . He said that because she had her yearly jabb within the last 2 weeks it might have made it worse.
I read more about it on the vet times web site and Cambridge Uni site.
Today she started her steroids . Much happier and eating again. My vet is Spanish and it's not always the easiest to understand!

The vaccination Jessie had was Nobivac . The vet only suggested that it might have caused the anaemia. She is fine now but the steroid pills certainly make her drink a lot and make her pant a lot. She is so much better though.

Pleased she's well again - sadly cockers do suffer from autoimmune illnesses (one of mine had similar -IMTP in his cases, which is immune-mediated thrombocytopena - where his platelets went to zero due to a urine infection and he started to bleed out)
