OBJECTIVE To assess pharmacokinetics of tranexamic acid (TXA) in dogs and assess antifibrinolytic properties of TXA in canine blood by use of a thromboelastography-based in vitro model of hyperfibrinolysis. ANIMALS 6 healthy adult dogs. PROCEDURES Dogs received each of 4 TXA treatments (10 mg/kg, IV; 20 mg/kg, IV; approx 15 mg/kg, PO; and approx 20 mg/kg, PO) in a randomized crossover-design study. Blood samples were collected at baseline (time 0; immediately prior to drug administration) and…

Effect of 50 mg/kg intravenous tranexamic acid on coagulation assessed by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in healthy Beagle dogs.
TLDR
Tranexamic acid can safely be administered to healthy dogs with normal coagulation profiles without inducing a hypercoagulable clot and APTEM parameters measured in the current study do not support the use of this test in dogs.
Diagnosis of primary hyperfibrinolysis and in vitro investigation of the inhibitory effects of tranexamic acid in a group of dogs with sarcomas - A pilot study.
Effect of early administration of tranexamic acid on ongoing haemorrhage in dogs with non-surgically treated haemoabdomen.
TLDR
It is concluded that other mechanisms than antifibrinolytic therapy was responsible for cessation of bleeding in the majority of patients.
A review of hyperfibrinolysis in cats and dogs.
TLDR
The diagnosis of hyperfibrinolysis is challenging and, until recently, has relied on techniques that are not readily available outside referral hospitals, but the recent development of point-of-care viscoelastic techniques will provide the opportunity to target haemorrhage due to hyperfibinolytic disorder with antifibrinoslytic drugs and thereby reduce associated morbidity and mortality.
Hemostatic Dysfunction in Dogs Naturally Infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum—A Narrative Review
This narrative review aims to describe Angiostrongylus vasorum-induced hemostatic dysfunction of dogs with emphasis on clinical and laboratory findings as well as potential therapeutic strategies for…
Toxicity, outcome, and management of anthracycline overdoses in 16 dogs
TLDR
Toxicities, treatments, and overall outcome after anthracycline OD in dogs, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenIA, anemia, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, and nausea are described.
Volume Resuscitation in the Acutely Hemorrhaging Patient: Historic Use to Current Applications
TLDR
Current understanding of the resuscitation of the acutely hemorrhaging small animal (dog and cat) veterinary patient is described through evaluation of pre-clinical canine models of hemorrhage and resuscitation, clinical research in dogs and cats, and selected extrapolation from human medicine.
Perspective directions of bitches conservative treatment with breast tumors (review information)
TLDR
The important role of hypercoagulation in the mechanisms of development and progression of breast tumors in dogs justifies the use of antithrombotic therapy in cancer patients, especially low molecular weight heparins, which can improve the effectiveness of therapeutic protocols and prevent tumor metastasis.
A Common Missense Variant Causing Factor XI Deficiency and Increased Bleeding Tendency in Maine Coon Cats
TLDR
The common missense variant FXI-V516M causes a cross-reactive material positive FXI deficiency in MCCs that is associated with mild-moderate bleeding tendencies and genotyping is recommended prior to invasive procedures or breeding.
Successful surgical and medical treatment of a severe, acute epidural bleed in a young dog due to steroid responsive meningitis-arteritis
TLDR
This is the first report in which medical and surgical treatment were combined in a patient with SRMA and it highlights the possibility of performing a successful surgical intervention despite the need for immunosuppressive therapy.
