Abstract

Bilateral anterior uveitis, nonregenerative anemia, and thrombocytopenia were found in a 9-month-old Chow Chow infected with Ehrlichia platys. Diagnosis was based on the finding of basophilic inclusions in platelets and an E platys antibody titer. The dog was treated orally with tetracycline, topically with antibiotic/corticosteroid, and topically with a mydriatic.
