“…The results presented here are different from that of a previous study in Galgos Españoles, which reported higher HCO3−, pCO2, tCO2, tHb, O2Ct, and lower pH, serum Cl− concentration and P50, than a mixed‐breed group (Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ). This could be due to a variety of factors, such as variations in the sampling and storage of blood samples, variations in the analysers used [Vetstat, IDEXX Laboratories (Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ) or Rapidlab 860, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostic SL (present study)] or variations in the control group. In this previous study, the control group had only true mixed‐breed dogs (Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ), while in the present study the control group had pure breed dogs and only seven mixed‐breed dogs.…”

“…Haematologic profiles, electrolyte concentrations, blood gas values and acid–base balance have previously been reported in healthy greyhounds (Porter and Canaday , Ilkiw and others , Steiss and others , Shiel and others , Campora and others , Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ,), and several breed‐specific peculiarities have been confirmed. As limited information on haematological, electrolyte and blood gas values are available for the Galgo Español (Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ), these greyhound‐specific peculiarities have simply been extrapolated to the Galgos Españoles in daily clinical practice. Because of the popularity of this breed, especially in Europe, it is important for clinicians to recognise the clinicopathologic peculiarities for veterinary clinical practice.…”

“…Previous studies have also reported differences in blood gas values and acid–base balance in greyhounds compared to other breeds, with a higher Hb affinity for oxygen (Sullivan and others , Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ). Recent studies have shown that blood gas values in the Galgos Españoles are also likely outside the reference limits for dogs; they have higher bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration, pCO2, total carbon dioxide (tCO2), total Hb (tHb) content and oxygen content (O2Ct), and lower pH, chloride (Cl) concentration and P50 than mixed‐breed dogs (Zaldivar‐Lopez and others ).…”

“…Moreover, previous studies have reported that galgos, similar to other sighthounds, have higher haematocrit, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, RBC count, oxygen content, and high oxygen-affinity Hb (lower P50), and lower platelet count when compared with dogs of other breeds (Zaldivar-López and others 2011, Mesa-Sánchez and others 2012).…”

Prevalence of dog erythrocyte antigen 1.1 in galgos (Spanish greyhounds)

et al. 2014

Dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1.1 is the most clinically important blood group in dogs, as negative recipients for this group may develop a life-threatening acute haemolytic transfusion reaction if they receive several DEA 1.1 positive blood transfusions. Due to their physical features, galgos are frequently used as blood donors in clinical practice, however, there are no published data regarding the prevalence of DEA 1.1 in this breed. Expression of DEA 1.1 was determined in 118 galgos and 88 dogs of other breeds being screened as potential blood donors, using an immunochromatographic cartridge typing kit (Quick Test DEA 1.1, Alvedia, Lyon, France). Of the total dogs, 53.4per cent (110/206) were positive for DEA 1.1. The prevalence of DEA 1.1 positive blood among our population of galgos and other-breed dogs were 51.7 per cent (61/118) and 55.7 per cent (49/88), respectively. Potential risk of sensitisation in a recipient of other breed following non-typed blood transfusion using blood from galgos was 22.9 per cent. Due to the clinical significance of DEA 1.1 and the high prevalence of this blood group in galgos of Spain, we strongly recommend blood-typing for this group before administering any blood transfusion using galgos as donors, as with transfusions from other commonly used breeds.

Prevalence of dog erythrocyte antigens 1, 4, and 7 in galgos (Spanish Greyhounds)

Galgos (Spanish Greyhounds), in common with other sighthounds, have higher hematocrits, hemoglobin concentrations, and red blood cell counts than other breeds. In addition to these hematological characteristics, the physical characteristics of these dogs (medium to large dogs with an easily accessible jugular vein and a good temperament) make galgos ideal blood donors. However, to date, there are only published reports concerning dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 in this breed. Information on DEAs 4 and 7 would be useful when recruiting blood donors to donation programs, as DEA 1 and 7-negative and DEA 4-positive dogs can be considered universal donors. Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid-anticoagulated jugular blood samples were collected from 205 galgos. Dogs were aged between 1 and 10 years, 102 were female (49.8%) and 103 male (50.2%), and all were living in South Madrid, Spain. All 205 blood samples were tested for DEA 1 by card agglutination, and 150 of these samples were tested for DEA 4 and DEA 7 by gel column agglutination using polyclonal anti-DEA antibodies. Of the 205 galgos blood samples typed, 112 out of 205 (54.6%) were positive for DEA 1. Of the 150 blood samples tested, all (150/150, 100%) were positive for DEA 4, and 12 out of 150 (8%) samples tested positive for DEA 7. Of these samples, 70 out of 150 (46.7%) were positive only for DEA 4. There was no relationship between blood types and sex. In addition to the hematological characteristics previously reported and the physical characteristics of these dogs, the relative prevalence of blood types DEA 1, 4, and 7 make galgos good candidates for blood donation in blood donor programs.
