Abstract:
The present study was carried out to compare the haemato-biochemical profile and serum antioxidant enzyme status of TVT affected and healthy dogs. Group I comprised of healthy dogs (n=12) and Group II (n=12) involved TVT affected dogs (diagnosed based on clinical signs, nature of lesions, impression smear cytology and histopathology). Blood samples were collected from both the group of dogs for haemato-biochemical parameters and antioxidants evaluation. A significant leukocytosis with neutrophilia, significantly higher ALT, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and significantly lower catalase activity were the prominent findings in TVT affected dogs. In conclusion, estimation of haemato-biochemical profile and antioxidant enzymes can be useful in the evaluation of clinical status of TVT affected dogs before initiation of suitable treatment.
