PREVALENCE OF DIFFERENT DISEASES IN KOTWALI WITH A SPLIT STUDY ON HAEMOLYTICAL PARAMETER OF SKIN DISEASE AFFECTED DOG

Abstract

Records of 160 clinical cases of different types of species (domestic animal, pet animal, poultry and pet birds) treated at Kotwali Veterinary Hospital, Chittagong were analyzed to asses and document important diseases from January to March, 2015. The diseases were diagnosed tentatively using anamnesis and clinical sign. The results were analyzed into four major diagnostic groups (bacterial, viral, parasitic and others) to observe prevalence of different types of diseases among those species. Among the species excluding others’ group, in domestic and pet animals the highest percentage was parasitic diseases (34.78% and 36.54%); in poultry that was viral diseases (32.65%). In domestic animal and poultry, bacterial diseases were 2.17% and 6.12% respectively. Whereas among the infectious diseases, bacterial and viral were at highest percentages in poultry (75% and 100%) and parasitic in pet animal (46.34%). A split hematological diagnostic intervention was done on dogs suffering from skin diseases in SAQTVH. Infected dogs had lower mean values of hemoglobin (9.46 ± 1.21), neutrophils (57.83 ± 12.14) and ESR (2.08 ± 2.20) compared to the normal value but TEC (5.26 ± 2.14), TLC (10.31 ± 10.31), PCV (40 ± 4.73) levels founded at normal.
