Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which an animal's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells, tissues, or organs. These disorders can affect various body systems and occur in dogs, cats, and other animals.Diagnosis uses a combination of medical history, physical examination, blood tests, imaging, and sometimes biopsies. Diagnosis can be challenging since symptoms vary widely and may mimic other conditions, which is why specialist evaluation is critical.
