Objective: To assess interindividual (CV_G) and intraindividual (CV_I) variability over time for results of thromboelastography (TEG) and whole-blood impedance platelet aggregometry in healthy dogs. Animals: Six healthy Beagle dogs. Measurements and Main Results: Tissue factor (TF)-activated TEG and...

There is limited information in the literature about the effect of altitude on the variability of hematological, coagulation, and biochemical parameters in healthy dogs. The main aim of this research is to evaluate and compare hematological, coagulation, and selected biochemical parameters of...

In dogs, splenectomy is mandatory as an emergency following splenic rupture with resultant hemoperitoneum and hypotensive shock. The present work aimed to evaluate the Doppler ultrasonographic parameters of brachial and femoral veins in splenectomized dogs and to investigate the effect of...

Background: Treatment with glucocorticoids after snakebite in dogs is controversial and randomized clinical studies are missing. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of prednisolone in dogs envenomated by Vipera berus in a double-blind placebo-controlled study, ...

CTAD (citrate-theophylline-adenosine-dipyridamole) has been shown to be an almost universal anticoagulant in human and feline medicine, allowing most hematology, coagulation, and biochemical analyses. Forty canine blood specimens were collected in CTAD, EDTA, heparin, and citrate for hematology,...

Objective: To relate coagulation and fibrinolysis derangements to shock severity as reflected by plasma lactate concentrations in dogs with spontaneous hemoperitoneum (SHP) and determine the impact on transfusions. Design: Prospective, observational, case-control study. SETTING: Three veterinary...

Objective: To assess the effects of tranexamic acid (TA) on hematological, hemostatic, and thromboelastographic analytes in healthy adult dogs. Design: Prospective study. Setting: University teaching hospital. Animals: Eleven healthy, staff-owned, adult dogs. Measurements and Main Results: Dogs...

The aim of this prospective study was to compare quality of blood products produced either by a novel gravity-driven hollow-fiber separation system (HF) or by centrifugation (C). Whole blood was obtained from 31 healthy non-greyhound canine blood donors and separated into fresh frozen plasma and...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the alterations in acute phase proteins, cytokines and hemostatic parameters in dogs with sepsis and to determine the importance of these parameters in diagnosis of the sepsis. Thirty dogs with sepsis and 9 healthy dogs were used in this study. Anorexia,...

Objective: To determine if differing gauge (G) needles used for venipuncture altered the automated platelet count and coagulation profile (prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) in clinically healthy dogs. Design: Prospective, observational, randomised, clinical...
