Glucocorticoid-deficient hypoadrenocorticism (GDH) with immune-mediated-neutropenia (IMN) and -thrombocytopenia (IMT) were diagnosed in a 3-year-old Labrador retriever dog. Glucocorticoid-deficient hypoadrenocorticism is rare and diagnostically challenging as clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities are often nonspecific. Immune-mediated cytopenias and other autoimmune disorders, as part of an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome have been reported with hypoadrenocorticism in humans. This is the first reported case of hypoadrenocorticism and bicytopenia in a dog.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on an 8-year-old Labrador dog that suffered from degenerative skeletal changes after being involved in a road traffic accident, eventually leading to its death despite medical interventions.
- Researchers conducted a CT scan on the dog’s humerus and discovered osteophytes, or bone spurs, that formed a almost complete ring structure, which suggested issues related to joint mobility.
- During the dissection of the bones, they found a thin membrane covering the supratrochlear foramen that the CT scan did not detect, indicating limitations in imaging techniques for identifying certain soft tissue abnormalities.
