The present study was carried out in Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati over a period of one year from January 2019 to December 2019. The canine clinical cases suspected for hepatic diseases were screened with specially designed data sheet. These clinical cases were subjected to clinical examination, ultrasound scan, radiography and haemato-biochemical examination. Out of 10,921 cases we have selected 52 clinical cases, from which the whole blood and serum were collected and sent to Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Haemogram, leukogram and serum biochemical profile were performed as per the standard methods. Hematological studies revealed moderate to severe anemia, decrease in PCV, leucocytosis, neutrophilia and thrombocytopenia. Elevation of ALT, AST, globulin, BUN, creatinine and decreased total protein and albumin were observed in serum biochemical profile.
In the present study 10,921 canine clinical cases suspected for various cardiac diseases were screened. Ten apparently healthy dogs were selected as control group and twenty seven clinical cases of dogs with various cardiac diseases were examined. In the present study there was significant (P<0.05) decrease in haemoglobin, PCV, lymphocytes and platelet count and significant (P<0.05) increase in total leukocyte count and neutrophils in dogs with cardiac diseases. Significant (P<0.05) increase in ALT, AST and BUN levels and significant (P<0.05) decrease in total protein values were noticed in dogs with cardiac diseases. Non-significant decrease in albumin levels and no significant change in creatinine levels were observed between healthy dogs and dogs with cardiac diseases. It was concluded in initial stages of cardiac diseases till cardiac renal syndrome gets deeply involved, there won't be any clinicopathological changes like haemogram, leukogram and routine biochemical changes significant for cardiac involvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
