Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A dog with polyarthritis, angular joint deformities, and a high serum antinucleolar antibody titer was treated over a period of 20 months. During the clinical course, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, Coombs' positive hemolytic anemia, and a pemphigus-type skin disorder developed, all of which responded to immunosuppressive therapy. It is not known whether the polysystemic disease in this dog represents a pleomorphic manifestation of canine systemic lupus erythematosus or multiple autoimmune disorders occurring in the same animal.
