Can dogs die from autoimmune disease without the proper medicine? And, if so, how much is the average price for the medication?

In response to Death posted by dog_lover93:
Hi,
It depends on the autoimmune disease. My dogs have autoimmune hypothyroidism, and for this they are treated with soloxine, which is a form of thyroid replacement hormone. Depending on the dose needed, it's around $10/month and there are some online vet pharmacies that sell it at a reduced cost. Also, if you buy large quantities, like a 6 month supply, it's less expensive. For autoimmune hypothyroidism, their mortality isn't affected as long as they receive proper treatment. The circumstances can be different if your dog has a different autoimmune disorder. Hope this helps, Elaine
