abstract

canine ehrlichiosis has emerged as one of the most clinically important tick-borne diseases affecting dogs. eighty-five naturally infected dogs have been investigated, the most consistent clinical signs recorded were fever, emaciation and lymphoadenopathy, anemia, monocytosis, thrompocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, elevation in liver enzymes and total bilirubin were the most remarkable changes associated with canine ehrlichiosis in egyptian dogs; microscopic examination failed to provide definitive diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis. season did not greatly influence the disease; the type of ticks involved in the disease transmission in egypt was rhipicephalus sanguineus.

Polymorphonuclear function in naturally occurring renal failure in dogs

Chronic renal failure causes immunosuppression in people and is thought to be one of the causes of non-infectious secondary immunosuppression in dogs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in counts and activity of polymorphonuclears in dogs with chronic renal failure in various stages. Haematological, biochemical examinations and examination of non-specific immune response cells (t...

Plasma antioxidant capacity in dogs with naturally occurring heart diseases.

The aim of the study was to compare the plasma levels of antioxidants by measuring total antioxidant activity (TAS) and ferric reducing ability of the plasma (FRAP) in healthy dogs and in those that are suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or from mitral endocardiosis (ME). Dogs with echocardiographically diagnosed ME (10 dogs) as well as DCM (23 dogs) were sampled. Of dogs with DCM, eig...
