basophilic or mast cell lineage. One day after the BM biopsy was performed, the patient developed leukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia aggravated. O2 saturation dropped to 90%, tachycardia of HR 150 and high BP of 180/85 were checked, and mental drowsiness was observed. Laboratory findings showed acute hepatic failure and prolongation of PT/aPTT with metabolic acidosis. Her condition rapidly deteriorated and eventually died of shock???

terrier and German Shepherd. Early onset of the disease is rare and is typically seen over the age of 5. The penetrance of Renal Dysplasia is low and small percentages are clinically affected.
