Key Points

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of low-volume calibrated automated thrombograms (CAT) compared to standard testing in dogs.
Conducted on a small group of dogs
Compared low-volume and standard plasma volumes in CAT tests
Analyzed coagulation outcomes from both methods
Low-volume CAT showed comparable results to the standard method
Suggests potential for using less plasma in routine tests in dogs
Implicates cost-effectiveness and practical benefits in veterinary practices

Abstract

Based on the results in this small group of dogs, we conclude that low-volume CAT appears to be an alternative to the standard testing method in dogs.
