Abstract:
The study was carried out to document and compare the haemato-biochemical parameters in 40 female pregnant dogs diagnosed with complete primary uterine inertia (PCUI) as well as 6 female pregnant dogs exhibiting the spontaneous whelping. Blood samples were collected from all the animals in both the groups to estimate the haematological (TLC, PCV, and Hb) and biochemical (serum calcium, serum magnesium, phosphorus and Blood Urea Nitrogen) parameters. The mean TLC, PCV, Hb, Serum Calcium, Serum Magnesium, Phosphorus and Blood Urea Nitrogen in PCUI was 10653 ± 1302 count/mm³, 37.65 ± 3.75, 11.74 ± 0.36, 10.12 ± 0.48, 2.24 ± 0.17, 4.42 ± 0.28 and 18.93 ± 3.68 respectively, similarly in spontaneous whelping animals was 10155 ± 1070 count/mm³, 35.67±2.05, 11.67 ± 1.11, 9.97 ± 0.26, 1.72 ± 0.86, 4.28 ± 0.44 and 17.52 ± 1.11, respectively. The present study revealed that there is no significant difference (P>0.05) between the Haemoto-biochemical parameters in both female dogs with PCUI as well as spontaneous whelping.
