A suggested Anaphylaxis Treatment Sheet is here for all AFAST®-positive cases that are presumed or confirmed to be AX-related Heparin-induced Canine Anaphylaxis to print off by clicking here.
This Treatment Sheet was created circa 2012 and agreed upon by 3 DACVECCs and 2 DABVPs and used in a few hundred cases thereafter at Dr. Lisciandro’s previous practice in San Antonio, Texas. Fatality is rare. Repeat rounds of Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) are uncommon (maybe 1 in 7-10 dogs); and patients becoming anemic is exceedingly rare using our protocol. Lastly, Epinephrine was administered in likely only 25-33% as most patients responded to intravenous fluids, H1-antagonists (Diphenhyydramine), H2-antagonists (Famotidine), and steroids (Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate).
