The present study was performed to find the therapeutic effects of 2 mg/kg prednisolone orally fed twice a day in cats with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). Six IMHA positive cats were diagnosed with Coomb’s test. Mean age of IMHA cats was 4.4 years old. They were considered as having secondary IMHA. The mortality rate of IMHA cats received prednisolone treatment was 33.3%. Complete blood count and blood chemistry values were all within the normal limit.
