“Acute onset tetraplegia associated with immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and suspected secondary intraspinal hemorrhage in a dog”

Abstract

Neurologic manifestations of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia are uncommon, and limited reports exist in human and veterinary medicine. This report documents acute onset of tetraplegia in a dog with immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and suspected secondary intraspinal hemorrhage with subsequent recovery of neurologic function following treatment.
