e canis doxycycline platellet.....

Praveenkumar Jadhav

10-year-old Pom male, having sub-cutaneous petechial and echymotic hemorrhages, it starts with red patches which turn into blue and then black. It started 4 days back, initially owner thought it to be something sporadic, but in 4 days has covered a large part of the body, now in the mouth too. Interesting part is dog is normal in all other aspects, eating, activity, not scratching, or anything.

  Joseph Cyrus Press a glass slide on the lesion and see if it blanches. highly unlikely, this dogs needs steroids high doseas and aspirin; when you collected the blood from the vein, did you have difficulty for the blood to clot.
