The Consensus Statement panel on Diagnosis and Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenia in Dogs and Cats presents an overview of key diagnostic and treatment PI(E)CO format questions (Patient population, Intervention/Exposure/Evaluation, Comparator, Outcomes) focused on the workup and management of dogs and cats with ITP. Presented guidelines, including a novel diagnostic algorithm for ITP, were generated by a systematic review of available primary veterinary literature and revised with an extensive Delphi process.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify key comorbidities associated with the development of ITP in dogs and cats.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to select useful tests for diagnosis of ITP and prediction of ITP disease severity.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe treatment modalities recommended for dogs and cats with mild and those with more life-threatening ITP presentations.
Upon completion, the participant will be familiar with recommendations for transfusion support in dogs and cats with ITP.
