EVALUATION OF HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF PYOMETRA AFFECTED DOG IN MADRAS VETERINARY COLLEGE CLINICS

Abstract

Pyometra is a life threatening, acute or chronic, polysystemic disorder of endometrium of adult bitch characterized by elevated WBC, toxic degeneration of neutrophils with normocytic, normochromic anaemia. The present study was conducted at Veterinary Clinics in Madras Veterinary College, Tamilnadu, India to determine the relationship of pyometra with breed and age of dog, along with their hematological parameters. A total number of 35 blood sample were collected with the case history to estimate different hematological parameters like Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Neutrophil, Eosinophil and Basophil. 82.86% cases were found to have Neutrophilia. Anemia was found in 62.86% cases. Breed susceptibility of Labrador retriever and spitz were highest and found 43% and 26% respectively. 6-10 years was the mostly recorded age of susceptibility. Pyometra is a distinct disease in pathogenesis, signs, diagnosis and treatment but hemograms may also help in diagnosing pyometra at an easy method.
