Abstract:BackgroundCerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) in dogs are diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This modality is sometimes unavailable, and CVAs can resemble other lesions on MRI. D‐dimer concentration and thromboelastography (TEG) are utilized in human medicine in addition to diagnostic imaging to support diagnosis of CVAs, but their use in veterinary patients has not been assessed.ObjectiveAssess utility of blood D‐dimer concentration and TEG in supporting the imaging diagnosis of CVAs in dogs.Anima… Show more
