My dog has an autoimmune disease. What are treatments and survival?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 9 months old | 121 lbs

Where can I find forums about dog owners who supported their pet during auto immune IPT therapy? Including their treatments and how long the pet survived. How long and what the survival rate is? I have read that most dogs die due to complications. How can we as pet owners bring more awareness to this disease? I have also reasy that this could be hereditary? Is this true? Would his parents or siblings be at risk?

I'm so sorry that you're going through this, but unfortunately I don't know what "auto immune IPT therapy" is. Can you please repost your question and clarify what disease you're talking about? If so, we'd be happy to help you.
