I was presented with a 3 yr old entire female Italian Spinone - she was generally in perfect health, fully vacd tho not wormed, and fed a RMB diet with no previousen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/27210?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 11 Nov 2010 12:42:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a622ac2b-46b1-4663-b798-b8322b0fe796Andrew Mellor<p>I have a couple of Spinone breeders and one of the bitches developed a spontaneous bleeding episode normal one day next unable to walk all joints swollen with blood covered in massive ecchymotic haemorrhages , fortunately survived following immunosuppressive steroids for a few weeks, and has gone on to be spayed etc all normal.
