8 year old FN Whippet
Not vaccinated farm dog
2 week hx progressive lethargy
Flat, Pyrexic, hunched/painful abdomen, neutrophilia, borderline non-regen anaemia, mild increase in urea, increased cholesterol, mild increase in liver enzymes (had recent steroids), mildly decreased platelets (120 but also giant platelets), urine protein ++ (urinalysis pending)
Blood stasis present in heart and large vessels, worried about hypercoagulability
What do you think is causing the cranial abdominal steatitis?
