Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical significance of the pattern of Coombs' test reactivity in dogs with immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia. METHODS: Sixty-five anaemic dogs with a positive Coombs' test were included. Coombs' testing was performed at 4 and 37 degrees C with polyvalent canine Coombs' reagent and antisera specific for each of canine immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M and complement factor C3. The impact of performing testing with only polyvalent antiserum at 37 degrees C was assessed. Chi-squared tests were used to compare Coombs' test reactivity in dogs with primary immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (group A) and in dogs with concurrent/ underlying disease (group B). Following Bonferroni correction, significance was set at P
