Abstract

A 6-year-old castrated male golden retriever suffered from auricular and acromelic necrosis in winter. A white flocculent precipitate formed when the patient's plasma was cooled to 4°C. The precipitate was resolved at 37°C. Histological examination of a skin biopsy section taken at the margin of a leg ulcer revealed many thrombi in small vessels. The dog was diagnosed as suffering from cryofibrinogenemia, and the symptoms were resolved by avoidance of cold.
