Clinical and hematologic findings in canine ehrlichiosis. 1985

N F Kuehn, and S D Gaunt

The clinical and hematologic findings for 56 dogs with ehrlichiosis were studied retrospectively. All dogs had a high serum antibody titer to Ehrlichia canis. The frequency of bleeding disorders, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia in these dogs was lower than previously described for dogs so affected. A bleeding disorder caused by a suspected qualitative platelet defect was found in some dogs that did not have thrombocytopenia. Megakaryocytic hyperplasia and high numbers of plasma cells were observed frequently on marrow aspirate smears. The clinical and laboratory findings of dogs were variable and were considered nonspecific for ehrlichiosis.
