Abstrakt: A 7-year-old, female, spayed springer spaniel presented due to acute stranguria and absence of reported urination by the owner. Two weeks earlier, it had been diagnosed with primary immune-mediated thrombocytopenia for which it was receiving prednisolone. Imaging revealed the presence of abdominal effusion and severe urinary bladder changes, compatible with cystitis and urinary bladder wall haemorrhage. A urinary bladder wall rupture at its cranioventral pole was confirmed with contrast study. Cytology of the abdominal fluid concluded septic uroabdomen. Surgical management was elected. A large urinary bladder tear was present along with multi-focal areas of suspected necrosis. The splenic appearance was also considered abnormal. At that stage, euthanasia was elected. Histopathology revealed features suggestive of thrombosis/infarcts in the urinary bladder and spleen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
