, Western Blot test of CSF for Sarcocystis neurona
A 6 year old female spayed cocker spaniel is presented with a 2 day history of
lethargy. Upon physical exam mucosal petechiae and ecchymoses and an ocular
hemorrhage O.D. is noted. A coagulation profile shows the following:
Thrombocytes= 49,720..[N=200,000-900,000]
Buccal mucosal bleeding time (BMBT), increased
Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), normal
Prothrombin time (PT), normal
Thrombin time (TT), normal

Idiopathic thrombocytopenia
A 7-week old male Yorkshire terrier is presented with a 2 week history of on and off
vomiting and diarrhea that began around the time he was weaned. The owners relate
that he seems to "drink and pee a lot". They report pacing, disorientation, weakness,
and "stumbling around". Physical exam is unremarkable, but only one testicle has
descended. As the puppy explores the room he appears ataxic, stumbles a few times,
and bumps his head into the wall. What is the clinical diagnosis?

A 1 year old German Shepherd is presented with a 2-week history of lameness.
Although the dog limps on the right foreleg as it enters the exam room, the owner
reports that the dog was lame on the left hindleg last week.
T=99.8 F (37.7 C)..[N=99.5-102.5 F]
RR=24 brpm.......[N= 15-34]
HR=100 bpm........[N= 80-120]
On physical exam, the dog reacts painfully on palpation of the long bones of the
right foreleg.
