イヌの播種性血管内凝固(DIC)の1症例

A case of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) of a nine-year-old male Pomeranian dog was described. This case was considered to be induced by heat stroke directly with underlying elongated soft palate and tracheal collapse. By coagulation tests, severe decrease of fibrinogen and platelet, markedly prolonged PT and APTT, and increase of FDP were obtained. The dog showed collapse and hyperthermia followed by ecchymosis and bloody stool. Microscopically, PAS positive fibrin-like substance was recognized in the liver sinusoids and in the vessels of glomeruli and spleen.
