Oral haematomas as the major presenting sign of primary immune thrombocytopenia in a cat

pITP is infrequently reported in cats and oral haematomas have not previously been documented as a presenting clinical sign. This case report serves to raise awareness of feline ITP and highlights the availability of evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines that were published after the case was treated. While pITP can be refractory to treatment and can be associated with treatment-related morbidity, this case report demonstrates that an acceptable outcome can be achieved, albeit with a requirement for long-term treatment and regular monitoring.
