IMHA Pet Owner Support Portal

A diagnosis of immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia can feel overwhelming and frightening. We have put together clear, supportive, literature-based educational resources to help you understand your animal's treatment plan, navigate daily home care and work closely with your veterinary team. Evidence and treatment approaches differ between dogs, cats and horses, so each guide is species-specific.

Dog Owner Guide

Canine Support Hub

Use a practical home-care guide for gum colour, urine changes, sleeping/resting breathing trends, medication safety and common glucocorticoid side effects. It also highlights warning signs that should prompt veterinary advice or urgent assessment.

  • ✓ Steroid Side Effect Guide
  • ✓ Daily Home Checklists
  • ✓ Urgent Warning Signs
Cat Owner Guide

Feline Support Hub

Learn how to monitor subtle changes in a cat with IMHA, reduce stress around medication, recognise glucocorticoid side effects and identify breathing, appetite or behaviour changes that should prompt veterinary advice.

  • ✓ Medication Giving Tips
  • ✓ Reducing Stress at Home
  • ✓ Appetite & Breathing Monitoring
Horse Owner Guide

Equine Support Hub

Learn about equine recovery considerations, including mucous membrane and urine observations, digital-pulse and hoof monitoring, stable-management principles and corticosteroid-associated laminitis risk.

  • ✓ Laminitis Risk Awareness
  • ✓ Tracking Digital Pulses
  • ✓ Activity & Stable Management
Evidence differs by species Canine IMHA has formal ACVIM consensus guidance for diagnosis and treatment. Feline and equine IMHA rely more heavily on retrospective cohorts, pharmacology studies and case series, so the linked guides deliberately use more cautious treatment language.

❤️ Working with Your Veterinary surgeon

Home or stable care can provide useful information between veterinary examinations. Recording meaningful changes from the animal's usual baseline can help your veterinary team assess progress and decide when reassessment is needed.

Please remember that these materials are strictly designed to support, not replace, active veterinary care. Do not adjust any medication dosages, stop therapies, or introduce new supplements without direct instruction and supervision from your veterinary surgeon.
