  • Title: Prednisolone and danazol for treatment of immune-mediated anemia, thrombocytopenia, and ineffective erythroid regeneration in a dog.
    Author: Holloway SA, Meyer DJ, Mannella C.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1990 Oct 15; 197(8):1045-8. PubMed ID: 2243038.
    Abstract:
    Immune-mediated anemia and thrombocytopenia were diagnosed in an 8-year-old spayed Miniature Schnauzer. The initial CBC indicated poor erythroid regeneration and concurrent leukopenia. The results of a Coombs test and ANA titer were strongly positive. Examination of a bone marrow specimen revealed erythrophagocytosis and a maturation arrest in the RBC series. Treatment with transfusion plus prednisolone and an attenuated androgen (danazol) resulted in stabilization of the PCV and the development of reticulocytosis.
