dc.description.abstractChronic hepatitis is common in dogs which often perceived as most frustrating disease. Liver biopsy is always required for definitive diagnosis. Based on histopathological lesions it is classified in to four groups’ viz., chronic progressive hepatitis, chronic nonspecific hepatitis, chronic cholangio hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. The incidence, predominant clinical signs, heamatological and peritoneal fluid changes were not clear among the different types chronic hepatitis. The study was carried out to address the above said problems in natural cases of chronic hepatitis dogs. Our study found that overall incidence was 0.25% with more occurrence of chronic progressive hepatitis (43.34%) followed by others in it. Mongrels (33.34 %) were suffered more frequently followed by Doberman pinschers (15.38 %) and German shepherd (15.38 %) dogs. The predominant clinical signs of chronic hepatitis were inappetance to anorexia (92.30 %), depression (74.35 %) and vomition (56.41 %). Haemoglobin values and eosinophils were significantly altered when compared to control. Neutrophil counts were increased significantly in liver cirrhosis animals. Peritoneal fluid analysis in nine cases confirms it as trasudate to modified transudate with total protein and cell count values of 4.07 gm/dl and 5.21 x 103 /cumm respectively.en_US
