Abstract:
The present study was aimed to study the variations in certain serum biochemical parameters and acute phase proteins in canine mammary tumor affected dogs in comparison to those of apparently healthy dogs. The dogs that were presented to various veterinary clinics with canine mammary tumors were subjected to various biochemical tests and estimation of acute phase proteins to notice any deviation from the apparently healthy dogs. Positive acute phase protein (CRP) showed significant increase in tumor affected dogs. Non-significant decrease was noticed in the negative acute phase protein (Albumin) in the dogs affected with mammary tumors. Biochemical parameters like Alanine Transa-minase (ALT), Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine showed insignificant variations in canine mammary tumor affected dogs when compared to the control group.
