Abstract:
The study was conducted on 137 client owned dogs presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Science & A.H., Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, with the objective to diagnose different types of cardiac abnormalities in dogs. Evaluation of cardiac disorders was made based on complete history, clinical signs, physical examination, auscultation, electrocardiography, thoracic radiography, echocardiography, haemoglobin and serum electrolytes. Various types of electrical wave formation in majority found in electrocardiogram were abnormal configuration of P wave (59.38%), low voltage QRS complex (36.00%) and tall T-wave (23.81%) in P-wave, QRS complex and T wave morphology, respectively. Auscultation along with palpation of cardiac area and electrocardiography are the basic and primary prerequisite for early diagnosis of cardiac disorders.
