Successful management of acute bilirubin encephalopathy in a dog with immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia using therapeutic plasma exchange

Bilirubin encephalopathy has been rarely reported in small animal medicine and cases have been limited to postmortem documentation. This is the first suspected case of acute bilirubin encephalopathy in a dog that survived and describes the clinical course of disease. The kinetics of serum bilirubin, IgG, and IgM concentrations before and after TPE and throughout the hospitalization period are also described.
