title: Polycythaemia vera in a dog.
abstract: An 8-month-old Dachshund showed signs of severe depression and intermittent, mild generalised seizures. A diagnosis of polycythaemia vera was made and the clinical signs ascribed to the hyperviscosity associated with this condition. Treatment by phlebotomy was initiated before the dog died.
