Anemia is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of dogs each year.
Biopure introduced Oxyglobin to U.S. veterinary emergency clinics and teaching hospitals in March 1998, and nationally launched the product through distributors to community veterinary practices in October 1998. The product is now being used by thousands of veterinarians nationwide to treat various critical conditions. Other than a blood transfusion, Oxyglobin is the only treatment that provides immediate relief from the clinical signs of anemia in dogs. In addition, the product's attributes and oxygen-carrying properties fill a need in veterinary medicine because they address many of the obstacles surrounding the treatment of anemia in dogs.
