What s wrong with low platelets in dogs? You ll understand after reading it

Humans will have low platelets, and dogs will also have low platelets. If dogs have low platelets, it may be caused by multiple reasons. Let’s talk about what causes low platelets in dogs.

1. Autoimmune diseases (hemolytic anemia, lupus erythematosus, etc.)

Low platelets in dogs are related to their own immunity. Whether it is a human or a dog, when the immune system is low, various diseases will occur, causing autoimmune hemolytic anemia, systemic erythematosus, etc.

2. Chemicals cause

Certain cytotoxic chemicals can destroy the megakaryocytes that produce platelets. Therefore, when there are residual chemicals in the dog's body, it will prevent the dog's body from producing platelets, causing thrombocytopenia in dogs.

3. Caused by bone marrow diseases (leukemia, aplastic anemia)

Certain diseases, such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc., will cause thrombocytopenia due to the infiltration of tumor cells in the bone marrow or the loss of normal bone marrow components that cannot be replenished in time.
