| | Thrombocytopenia is not common in dogs and cats, although there are several breeds of dogs that are predisposed to it. | | | Major causes of thrombocytopenia are immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (an autoimmune disease), bone marrow cancers, infectious diseases, hereditary diseases (von Willebrand's, for example), drug/vaccination reactions, vasculitis (leading to deep vein thrombosis), and disseminated intravascular coagulation. | | | Animals with cancer are at higher risk than those without cancer, but it can occur in a dog/cat of any age, breed, or sex. |

| | In a cohort study of 107 fetuses with neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (97 with HPA-1a incompatibility) studied in utero before receiving any therapy, 50% had initial platelet counts of less than 20,000/mL (13). | | | The most serious complication of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is intracranial hemorrhage, which occurs in 10-20% of infants (14, 15). | | | Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is the platelet equivalent of hemolytic (Rh) disease of the newborn, developing as a result of maternal alloimmunization to fetal platelet antigens. |
