Clumber Spaniels and Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia
/The Clumber Spaniel Health Foundation is asking owners, breeders, and veterinarians to please take note:
Dr. Steven Friedenberg is still actively continuing to collect data and blood samples from Spaniels who develop IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia).
If your Clumber Spaniel is diagnosed with IMHA, please contact Dr. Friedenberg as soon as possible. These cases are incredibly important to ongoing research, and every sample may help us better understand this devastating disease.
Contact Dr. Friedenberg at:

Every case matters. By participating, you may help advance research that could benefit Clumbers and other dogs facing IMHA in the future.
