J Am Vet Med Assoc. 2008 Oct 15;233(8):1251-9, 1190. doi: 10.2460/javma.233.8.1251.

Abstract

Inherited intrinsic platelet disorders have been identified in dogs, cattle, horses, and cats as well as other animals. The prevalence of mutations in some breeds is high, making these disorders potentially as common as von Willebrand disease in certain breed lineages.
