Abstract:
The present study was conducted on 75 bitches affected with pyometra. Majority (70.67%) of them were positive for SIRS. The criteria used in the present study to evaluate SIRS in pyometra-affected bitches were temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, TLC, percentage of band neutrophils, albumin, C- reactive protein (CRP) and Serum amyloid A (SAA). Among these parameters temperature (102.57 ± 0.15 vs 102.01 ± 0.11˚F), heart rate (111.06 ± 1.92 vs 104.59 ± 1.46 bpm), TLC (23.34 ± 1.33 vs 14.98 ± 1.56×103/µl), percentage of band neutrophils (22.57 ± 1.07 vs 11.00 ± 1.59) and SAA (67.45 ± 2.49 vs 44.36 ± 2.64 mg/L) were significantly (P<0.01) higher in SIRS positive bitches compared to SIRS negative bitches.
Highlights
- Study on Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) in canine pyometra.
- Temperature, heart rate, TLC, percentage of band neutrophils and SAA were found to be useful for identification of SIRS in canine pyometra.
