I've been off this board for several days, so maybe this isn't an issue anymore, but my two cents anyway. I only joined this board a few weeks before Nala...
Congratulations to you and Zach. When it hits them so hard you feel like you've lost everything. But, when they bounce back and thrive there's no feeling on...
Hi Everyone, HEsper had an emergency splenectomy on 3/11/08 with the diagnosis of HSA. We decided not to do chemo, but instead consulted with a homeopathic...
Hello Michele, I'm glad you found the group and posted. You and your Hesper have a similar situation to mine and Zachary's, but we have not had another ...
Regarding DIET...I have put Zachary on the Hills N/D Diet. Are some or any of you using that? I am mixing it 50/50 so far and he's tolerating it. My regular...
Hi Allison, Thank you for your well wishes.. I wish you and Zachary the best also. I got some great advice and encouragment from this group when Hesper was...
Alison, Here is the story on Hills N/D as far as I can tell. (Like always, this may be more than you want to know, but I can't stop myself... :-) ) The...
Allison and Michele, I used to be a regular poster here but since Behr ran free last week and with my new job, I haven't really known what to do or think. I've...
Yunnan Baiyao - absolutely. Dillon had a similar experience, I put him on it and (knock on wood) no more pale gums. Whether or not it is the reason, who...
Alison, here's to many more months! and may Zach's HSA never rear its ugly head again. Keep the Faith, Ilene and Mali (born 10/16/1997 & dx HSA 12/24/2004) ...

New member. I have been following your messages for 6 weeks but unable to join due to lack of full internet access. I have cried and smiled at the posts. Thank...
Laurie, I am sorry about Prince. My Behr left a week ago last monday. May his spirit live on in the company of Duke. I don't know anything about hereditary...
Hi Kate, I am very sorry for your loss of Behr. My heart goes out to you. Hesper was better this morning. We made her beef liver and some steak and mixed into...
Michele, they can experience anemia for some time after splenectomy, as they need time to rebuild. Depending on how much blood was lost during surgery, it...
Laurie, yes sadly it can be genetic and passed on. X-rays and ultrasounds can be helpful; but just as with blood tests, they can often represent just that...
Laurie, glad to see you are able to post on the web site. I hope you are hanging in there and each day gets easier. All is well here; Chica seems to be doing...
Ilene, Hesper did have 4 transfusions in total, from prior to her surgery to after it. I will be curious to see her numbers today. When they have that pale...

Dearest Laurie, Thank you for posting and sharing with us about your beloved Prince. I'm so deeply sorry for your sudden and heartbreaking loss. Bless Prince...
I was wondering, would it be prudent to have the spleen removed on siblings even if they are not showing any signs? Would that be a way to ward off the...
Lisa, Interesting thought. However, if we know that HSA attacks various places like the heart or subcutaneously, I think that we might find that removing the...
Laurie, So glad you made it! Welcome, and again please accept my sympathy on the loss of your beloved Prince. You are right to be on the lookout now to protect...
Michele, I am so sorry to hear about Hesper. We didn't use any of those injections for Ginger, but had great success with other natural supplements and her...
