To characterize the clinical course of disease and identify prognostic indicators for immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in dogs.Retrospective cohort study.73 dogs treated at Foster Hospital Small Animals Tufts Cummings School Veterinary Medicine Emergency Treatment Specialties Hospital.Medical records from period January 2002 through June 2008 were reviewed to with a diagnosis thrombocytopenia. Data collected included signalment, signs, results initial diagnostic tests, treatment,...
Abstract Management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in dogs and cats is evolving, but there are no evidence‐based guidelines to assist clinicians with treatment decisions. Likewise, the overall goals for ITP have not been established. Immunosuppressive doses glucocorticoids first line treatment, optimal regimens beyond remain uncertain. Additional options include secondary immunosuppressive drugs such as azathioprine, modified cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, usually selected based on...
Thromboembolism has recently been described as a complication following treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). This pilot study was undertaken to determine whether dogs suffering from ITP experience hypercoagulability during and recovery.Thromboelastograms (TEG) were performed on with within 24 hours of admission the hospital, first day platelet count exceeded 40 × 10(9) /L (Day 1), Days 4, 7, 14.All had hypocoagulable TEG tracings initial but developed suggestive period...
Abstract Background Commercial microwave plasma defrosters (MPDs) are used globally in human medicine to safely thaw fresh‐frozen (FFP), but this technology has never been tested a veterinary setting. This study was undertaken assess the efficacy of commercial MPD for rapid thawing canine FFP. Study Design Twenty‐three units (twelve 120 mL and eleven 240 mL) FFP were thawed using an MPD. Time‐to‐thaw pre‐ postthawing temperatures measured. Clotting factor activities (factors II, V, VII,...
Veterinary medical providers face many of the same stressors related to therapeutic relationship that human face, and have reported high rates emotional distress as an aspect practice. Balint Group work is relatively novel in Medicine, method has yet be evaluated veterinary community. We hypothesized applying medicine would feasible offer similar benefits providers.The authors offered monthly in-person groups, co-led by two American Society trained leaders feedback from group attendees...
