ACEVEDO T, Sandra e RAMIREZ L, Mauricio. Diagnosis of absolute polycythemia as possible causes of seizures in a dog. Rev.MVZ Cordoba [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.3, pp.2245-2251. ISSN 0122-0268.
The case of a 3-year-old poodle, which last year began to suffer sporadic seizures, especially after exercise and sometimes-presented generalized tremor, is reported. At clinical examination the hyperemic eye and oral mucosa were observed. Additional Laboratory tests performed showed that serial blood counts increasingly marked the hematocrit and hemoglobin with levels of plasmatic proteins within normal ranges, and erythropoietin was 10 times under the normal range. An abdominal ultrasound and a cardiac evaluation were performed. The diagnosis was absolute polycythemia as the cause of seizures.
