Do dog vaccines & Cytopoint on same day cause immune system attacks?

Question

Can a combination of vaccines and Cytopoint given the same day attach a dogs red blood cells and immune system. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

Vaccines in general are a potential trigger for immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), a condition where the immune system begins attacking the red blood cells. I am not aware that this has been reported as a potential reaction to Cytopoint but because it is essentially a vaccine it seems possible. Each individual vaccine has the potential to trigger IMHA, and a specific combination of vaccines is not necessarily more likely to lead to the disease.
