Abstract:
The present study was conducted at Veterinary College Hospital, Hebbal, Bengaluru to study the haematological and serum biochemical changes in hepatic disorders in dogs. Ten apparently healthy dogs (control group) and 20 dogs with clinical signs suggestive of hepatic disorders were selected for the present study. The blood samples were collected from cephalic or saphenous vein under aseptic conditions and subjected to haematological and biochemical analysis. The major haematological changes observed were reduced Hb concentration, TEC, PCV, platelet count and increased TLC. The major biochemical changes recorded were increased ALT, GGT, Total bilirubin and decreased Total Protein and Albumin in dogs with hepatic disorders compared to control group.
