Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) in Small Breeds Canine

Gain essential insight into Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) in Small-Breed Dogs in this focused presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, created for veterinarians, canine internal medicine specialists, and dedicated pet owners. IMT occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys platelets—critical components for normal blood clotting—leading to spontaneous or prolonged bleeding. In small breeds, genetic predisposition, infections, medications, or other underlying diseases may trigger the condition. Warning signs can include pinpoint skin haemorrhages, gum bleeding, nosebleeds, unexplained bruises, weakness, or disorientation. Diagnosis involves comprehensive bloodwork, infectious disease screening, imaging, and the exclusion of other clotting disorders. Management takes a holistic and integrative approach—combining immune-suppressive medications, supportive care, and trigger control with regenerative solutions such as PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), alongside TopPetPro innovations like MITO Peptide Organotherapy, NANO Peptide Organotherapy, etc.—to restore platelet function, regulate immunity, and enhance recovery.
