Abstract

 

The study covered 57 dogs presented with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis at Veterinary Clinical Complex, Jabalpur from May to October  2024 which were confirmed positive for canine parvovirus via PCR. The most frequently observed clinical manifestations in this study  were inappetence, frothy vomition, bloody diarrhoea, dehydration and depression. The haematological alterations revealed decreased  levels of haemoglobin, total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, packed cell volume, neutrophilia and lymphopenia in CPV affected  dogs as compared to healthy dogs. The serum levels of alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase were elevated, while the total  protein and albumin levels were decreased. Oxidative stress parameters, viz., malondialdehyde was significantly higher, while reduced  glutathione and catalase values were significantly lower in CPV affected dogs as compared to healthy controls.
