| dc.description.abstract | In the present study, medical records for 5 years (2007 to 2011) in the Veterinary College Hospital, Veterinary College, Bangalore were studied for the prevalence of gastroenteritis in dogs. Thirtyeight thousands five hundred ninetythree dogs were presented to the hospital during the period, out of which 7.43 per cent were gastroenteritis cases and 4.13 per cent were Canine Parvo virus cases. The Prevalence of gastroenteritis was highest during the year 2010 (9.21%) and lowest during 2008 (5.48%); highest in hot season, lowest in cold season; highest in male dogs, lowest in female dogs; highest in dogs, less than 3 months lowest in dogs more than 12 months; highest in Nondescript dogs followed by Labrador Retriever, Spitz , German Shepherd, lowest in Siberian Husky, Miniature Pinscher and Black Russian Terrier. In the clinical study, 100 cases exhibiting clinical signs of gastroenteritis were studied for the detection of Canine Parvo viral antigen in the faeces by using CPV Antigen Rapid Test Kit with the principle of lateral flow immunochromatography assay and coprological examination for the positive cases for parasitic infestation. Fiftyfour cases were positive for CPV antigen but no parasites were found in the faecal sample. The CPV antigen was detected; more in males, less in females; more in less than 3 months, less in more than 12 months old; more in Labrador Retriever followed by German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, Spitz, Golden Retriever and Nondescript, lowest in Cocker Spaniel, Dalmatian, Dachshund, Pug, Great Dane and Saint Bernard breeds. The main clinical signs exhibited were reduced appetite, vomiting, haemorrhagic diarrhoea, dehydration and kyphosis. Haematological picture showed normochromic, normoncytic anaemia with decreased TEC, Hb, TLC and PCV. Biochemical picture showed hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia and no significant difference in creatinine and ALT levels in CPV positive cases. All the faecal samples positive for CPV antigen in CPV Antigen Rapid Test were also positive for polymerase chain reaction when subjected for further confirmation. | en_US |
