Mortality rate and prognostic factors for dogs with severe anaphylaxis: 67 cases (2016–2018)

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To determine mortality rates for dogs with severe anaphylaxis and identify potential prognostic factors. ANIMALS 67 dogs with suspected anaphylaxis graded as severe. PROCEDURES Dogs were classified on the basis of outcome as survivors and nonsurvivors. Medical records were reviewed, and data were extracted including signalment, examination findings, time to hospital admission from onset of clinical signs, CBC results, serum biochemical analysis results, coagulation testing results, and findings o… Show more

“…Dermatological signs are considered the classical clinical sign of type 1 hypersensitivity reactions; however, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and respiratory signs have also been reported. 1,[8][9][10] This is consistent with both phases of our study, where the most frequent clinical signs were dermatological, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular. It is important to note that approximately 25% of all dogs did not have dermatological signs; this increased to 47% when only considering dogs with evidence of insect exposure.…”

“…36,37 This phenomenon explains the presence of gallbladder wall oedema in clinical cases. 7,9,10,13 Extravasation of fluid secondary to increased vascular permeability may also contribute to hypovolaemic shock, a recognised mechanism in human anaphylaxis. 33,38,39 This response to anaphylaxis in dogs may provide some theoretical justification for blood volume expansion via the administration of intravenous fluids, despite a paucity of evidence for the efficacy of this treatment.…”
