author keywords: Hemostasis; Infection; Rickettsia; Ticks
MeSH headings : Anaplasma; Anaplasmosis / blood; Anaplasmosis / complications; Anaplasmosis / epidemiology; Animals; Blood Loss, Surgical / veterinary; Dog Diseases / blood; Dog Diseases / epidemiology; Dog Diseases / etiology; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dogs; Ehrlichia canis; Ehrlichiosis / blood; Ehrlichiosis / complications; Ehrlichiosis / epidemiology; Ehrlichiosis / veterinary; Female; Grenada / epidemiology; Male; Partial Thromboplastin Time / veterinary; Platelet Count / veterinary; Prothrombin Time / veterinary
TL;DR: Bleeding scores in dogs coseroreactive for A. platys and E. canis may have increased intraoperative bleeding tendencies despite normal hemostatic parameters, and improved tick control is needed for dogs in Grenada. (via Semantic Scholar)
