Abstract

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a clonal myéloprolifération of pleuripotent stem cells, mainly granulocyte series. Diagnosis of CML is usually based on peripheral blood smear examination viz, normocytic normochromic anaemia, marked neutrophilia with a shift to left and vacuolation of cytoplasm of myeloid cells and its confirmation required bone marrow biopsy. Treatment with hydroxy urea is found to be effective.The present paper deals with a case of CML in a 10 year old pomeranian dog.
