The study focuses on two breeds of dog namely Labrador retriever and German shepherd to investigate the different haematological parameters. Blood samples were collected from these two breeds of dog, and haematological parameters such as haemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total...

The blood count is one of the fundamental tests to analyze the dog's general clinical status. Through hematological analysis can be established for diagnosis, diagnosis and also monitor the animal's health, indicating possible bacterial, viral or parasitological infections. Given the importance of...

The aim of this research was to outline a RCW profile of anemic animals compared to MCV and MCHC according to the type of anemia presented by canine patients. The values for CV (corpuscular volume), MCV (mean corpuscular volume), MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) and RDW (red cell...

Background: The major fraction of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) depends on blood glucose concentration and erythrocyte lifespan, and consequently erythrocyte indices may affect HbA1c; our objective was to study this effect in dogs. Methods: Blood samples from two (healthy and anaemic) age- and...

Leishmaniasis is an endemic zoonosis that affects different animals species, among them the dogs. As an aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of the patient is routinely asked the CBC, which is characterized by anemia normocytic and normochromic type. The mean corpuscular volumes (MCV) and mean ...

Lead can induce toxicity especially in young animals and children. We report effect of lead drench with or without thiamine or calcium EDTA on hematological markers in young pound dogs. Groups of five 2-4 month old mixed breed dogs each were drenched 15 mg/kg/day lead acetate for 60 days (lead...

A case of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in a 5-year-old male Golden Retriever was described [place and date not given]. The dog presented with a 4-week history of intermittent vomiting and anorexia, mild lethargy and dark stool. Physical examination and initial diagnostic tests showed pale pink and ...

Haematological analyses are important in early detection of diseases, and breed differences have been suggested (Schalm 1962). This work is a comparative study to establish the influence of breed on erythrocyte osmotic fragility of Nigerian indigenous breed of dog and the German shepherd dog. In...

Aim: The effect of citrate phosphate dextrose adenine-1 on the hematological parameters of stored Nigerian indigenous dog's blood with plastic vacutainer was investigated. This was done in view of determining the viability and stability of the studied parameters for blood banking purpose. Till...

Numerous studies have shown the importance of breed-related differences between hematological and biochemical results in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study is to determine hematologic and biochemical Reference Intervals (RIs) for 5 hunting dog breeds from a blood donor database, adopting an ...
