BookPublisher: 1997Subject(s): Department of PathologyDDC classification: 0528,T Dissertation note: The present project was designed to investigate various causes and the incidence rate of anaemia and further to classify it on the basis of morphological changes.
Forty dogs were used brought to the Dog Hospital, College of Veterinary Sciences, Lahore. Based on history and clinical examination the dogs were described as anaemic. Fifteen dogs were used as control animals. Haemoglobin (Hb) estimation, packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocytic count (TEC) and erythrocyte indices (mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration) were investigated.
Among forty sick dogs fourteen were found anaemic due to nutritional deficiency, nine due to parvovirus infection, seven were suffering from parasitic infestation, seven had mixed infection and only three had canine distemper. High incidence of anaemia indicated nutritional deficiency.
It is concluded that anaemia in dogs due to parvo virus infection, parasitic infestation and canine distemper is of macrocytic normochromic, due to mixed infections macrocytic hypochromic and nutritional deficiency had microcytic normochromic, normocytic normochromic, normocytic hypochromic and microcytic hypochromic in nature.
