Article Synopsis
- Management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in dogs and cats lacks established evidence-based guidelines, leaving treatment decisions largely to clinician discretion.
- The first-line treatment involves immunosuppressive glucocorticoids, with additional therapies such as azathioprine and vincristine used in more severe cases; however, optimal regimens are still unclear.
- A consensus process involving a structured literature review and expert opinions led to the creation of guidelines highlighting the need for further research in ITP treatment options.
