Abstract
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia is a naturally occurring disease of dogs characterized usually by thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, reticulocytosis, and a positive direct anti-globulin test (Coomb's test). The anemia manifests itself by acute hemolytic crises which are separated by varying periods of normalcy. The disease is usually observed in dogs between two and eight years of age.
