    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Hematology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • A 7-year-old crossbred dog presented with a chronic, fluctuating illness lasting over six months.
    • Clinical signs included inappetence, reduced exercise tolerance, restlessness, panting, melena (black diarrhea), and ocular/auricular erythema.

    Observation:

    • Hematological findings revealed persistent polycythaemia, reticulocytosis, and normoblastaemia.
    • Plasma protein was normal when the dog was not dehydrated; splenomegaly was noted.
    • Cardiopulmonary and renal evaluations were unremarkable, with normal arterial blood gases and oxygen saturation.

    Findings:

    • Increased total erythrocyte volume confirmed polycythaemia.
    • Primary polycythaemia was diagnosed based on clinical and hematological data.

  • Therapeutic bleeding followed by a single injection of radioactive phosphorus (32P) was administered.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the successful long-term management of primary polycythaemia in a canine patient.
    • Radioactive phosphorus therapy offers a viable treatment option for canine polycythaemia.
    • The patient remained disease-free for 50 months post-treatment, highlighting treatment efficacy.
