tvpjournal.com | September/October 2016 | T O day' S Ve T erinary Prac T ice a c a S e O f c anine a cu T e Pancrea T i T i S Peer r eviewed 53 CBC Results The number of red blood cells (RBCs) was normal at first and mildly decreased later. The normal number of RBCs upon presentation may have been related to the mild dehydration. With aggressive fluid therapy, the patient became mildly anemic due to a dilutional effect on the number of RBCs. Moderate thrombocytopenia together with the coagulation panel results indicated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). DIC can occur in patients with severe pancreatitis and other serious systemic diseases, such as sepsis due to peritonitis or neoplasia. Table 3.
