Circulating lupus anticoagulant and probable systemic lupus erythematosus in a cat.
An adult domestic short hair cat was presented in a critical condition with icterus. Various investigations demonstrated the presence of haemolytic anaemia and hepatic abnormalities, as well as significant coagulation defects. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was suggested as a possible cause.
