Basic Info. on Evan's Syndrome in Dogs

Evan's Syndrome is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks and destroys it's own red blood cells AND platelets.  It can happen in people as well as dogs.  I don't know about cats.

From my reading and experience, average mortality rate in dogs is between 50 percent to 80 percent.  From comments from Veterinarians, I'd say it is closer to the high end.  In other words, dogs have between one chance in three to one chance in five of surviving.  Not good.

The average mortality rate in HUMANS is seven percent.  I want to know what treatments people are getting that dogs aren't that makes that difference.  Spleen removal??  Aspirin??
