Max's and His Owner's Mission to Spread Info about IMHA

Many years ago, I had Max and Maggie as both training and boarding clients. Sadly I received news of Max's death from the disease that she talks about here. I am helping her spread her information through my blog. I've never heard of this myself.

My friend and client writes:

Dear Friends

As many of you know, my Max was diagnosed in early May with an immune system disease. The disease called IMHA is a very serious condition that causes the animals system to destroy it's own red blood cell. For approximately six weeks Max was on prednisone to help his immune system overcome the disease. However, in the early hours of Sunday June 20, the unthinkable happened, Max passed away. He did pass peacefully. He was only six years old but his little body could not continue to fight the disease.
IMHA is a very destructive disease and is called a "Silent Killer" and indeed it is.



Our mission in Mac's name is to inform people about this disease. It is not very well known. I have included two sites for you to share. Please share with everyone that you know who has cats or dogs. Educating is empowering! We hope by sharing this information and educating we can save the lives of other dogs or cats.

Maggie and I are working hard to adjust to the new chapter in our lives. Although Max is missed terribly we know that he is at peace and not in pain. We will continue to work hard at sharing the information about IMHA knowing that Max ins helping in heaven.

Thanks for your friendship and support spreading this information.
