A 4-year-old, castrated male, Russian blue cat with idiopathic epilepsy was diagnosed
with neutropenia. The neutropenia was classified as idiopathic after blood tests and
abdominal imaging did not reveal an infectious, inflammatory or neoplastic aetiology.
As a treatment trial for idiopathic neutropenia, the cat was administered granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor by subcutaneous injection once daily for 3 days. Two weeks
after completion of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapy, the cat developed
severe thrombocytopenia, with the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapy considered
to be the most likely cause. No treatment was initiated, and the thrombocytopenia
had resolved spontaneously by 2 weeks after diagnosis. This is the first
reported case of transient severe thrombocytopenia in a cat following granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor treatment
