Thrombocytopenia
From Dog
Thrombocytopenia in dogs is defined as a reduced levels of circulating thrombocytes (platelets) below the normal range of 2 - 9 x 10-9/L.
Causes include:
- [[Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia
- Bacterial diseases
- Parasites
- - Rickettsia spp, Ehrlochia canis[1], Borrelia burgdorferi, Babesia rossi[2], Anaplasma phagocytophilum[3]
- Neoplasia, splenic torsion[4]
- Hypoadrenocorticism[5]
- DIC
- Immune-mediated neutropenia[6]
- Recent drug therapy
- Recent modified live vaccination administration
- May-Hegglin anomaly[7]
