Hi all! Has anyone used bio-algae concentrates on their dogs? Specifically pups that are anemic, AIHA or thrombocytopenia ?? (low platelets)
I stumbled upon this website when reading articles on this disease and it has people raving about this particular medicine..i don't know if these are real testimonials but i'd love to hear if anyone has any advice or experience with this product. (http://www.optimumchoices.com/AIHAAutoImmune_Hemol...
All the posts are praising this medicine and saying it saved their dog's lives when they were told there was no hope (much like many uninformed vets do)
thank you very much for your time!

I haven't heard of this product before, but I would be wary of any medicinal product that does not have a scientific study to back it up.
I just graduated from vet school, and did my last placement with one of the best critical care departments in the UK. This people are 100% up to date with their medicines, and I never once heard anything like this mentioned for any anaemias, AIHA or thrombocytopenias (and we had a lot come through the door!)
AIHA is an immune-mediated disease. Therefore, you need something that will reduce the immune response, like a steroid. This product is unlikely to do this job.
