| Veterinary Drugs and Treatments | Oxyglobin? is indicated for the treatment of dogs with anemia, regardless
of the cause of anemia (hemolysis, blood loss, or ineffective
erythropoiesis). From a prognostic standpoint, the drug should be
more valuable in dogs with regenerative anemias (versus nonregenerative
anemias).
It has also been used extra-label in other species
as well, such as in foals for neonatal isoerythrolysis.
Its primary benefit is for the patient that is anemic and difficult
to transfuse due to unavailability of blood, or when no suitable donors
are identified on crossmatch. (Jandrey 2007) |
