And I never realized this, but think about it. I know of at least 3 or 3 Immune comprimised dogs now, all female and then I came across this article -

Hemolytic Anemia

This is a type of anemia. Hemolytic anemia in dogs is mainly an autoimmune disease. Hemolytic anemia in dogs prognosis depends a lot on the underlying reason of the anemia. This disorder mainly affects female dogs more than the male ones. Also, a few dog breeds like poodles, terriers, spaniels, etc. are more prone to this disorder. Reasons which will trigger hemolytic anemia in dogs are contamination due to zinc, bee venom, bee infection, etc.
