Help with prognosis for thrombocytopenia in dogs? General Dog Discussions
My dog was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with immune mediated thrombocytopenia (he had bruises all over his body and the pate lets where below 10,000). The doctor gave him a high dose of prednisone 1,5 ml/kg, and after the first week, the pate let count raise above 500,000. Then, after a week, the doctor reduced the prednisone by half, and today, after 5 days with the new dose I noticed the bruises again. Does this mean that he relapsed? should I give him the first dose of prednisone? is there another medication? the prognosis is really bad?
