Abstract

A 10-year-old female Pomeranian dog was presented to the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Chulalongkorn University, on December, 2018, with a history of anorexia, frequent vomiting, depress and oliguria. Physical examination revealed that the dog was depressed but responsive to the stimuli. The dog was dehydrated (7%) with pale-pink mucous membrane. The capillary refilling time of 1.5 seconds with strong femoral pulse were detected. The respiratory rate was 65 breath per minute with normal sound while heart rate was approximately 60 beats per minute without cardiac murmur from auscultation using stethoscope. The systolic blood pressure was 120 mmHg. The blood collection was performed and the results indicated the dog had anemia (PCV = 17%), thrombocytopenia (42,000 per µL) and mild elevation of ALT (348 Unit/L). The azotemia was found with BUN and creatinine of 127 mg/dL and 5.5 mg/dL, respectively. The concentrations of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) were 134 and 7.75 mM, respectively. Antibody test kit was positive for Ehrlichia canis. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded as shown in Figure 1.
