Abstract:
Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and splenomegaly were recognized in 3 adult female giant schnauzers. Antineutrophil antibodies were demonstrated in 2 dogs. Following splenectomy, administration of prednisone and azathioprine resulted in normalization of neutrophil and platelet numbers in all dogs.
