News - Hammond K9 Unit lost two of
their dogs in 2007.
K-9 Tommy, a dual-purpose Belgian Malinois, was retired
when he was
diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA),
also known as
immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA)"Autoimmune"
literally means
the immunity against the self."Hemolytic"
is the destruction of red
blood cells. "Anemia" is a clinical sign,
not a disease. Anemia is
defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells
(RBC's) or the
amount of hemoglobin, resulting in a decrease in the
oxygen- carrying
capacity of the blood.
K-9 Rex, a dual purpose German Shepherd, was retired
after being
diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer.
