Abstract
Polycythaemia vera (PV) was diagnosed in a dog by demonstration of an increased red cell mass in association with normal arterial oxygen sat uration and the absence of conditions known to be associated with seco ndary polycythaemia. The dog was treated exclusively by repeated phleb otomies and replacement of the removed volume by colloid and crystallo id solutions. It survived for one year and was generally free of signs .
