“…Previous studies have reported an absence of breed differences in PCV, HB concentration, MCV, MCH and MCHC between the Nigerian indigenous dog and the German shepherd dog (Olayemi and Ighagbon 2011;Ariyibi et al 2002). Our findings in the present study are consistent with their reports.…”

“…Absence of sex difference in erythrocyte values has been reported in Rotweiller breed of dog (Adebiyi et al 2014), the German shepherd dog (Ariyibi et al 2002;Olayemi and Ighagbon 2011), the Nigerian local breed of dog (Oduye 1978;Olayemi et al 2009), the Nigerian cat (Nottidge et al 1999), and N'dama cattle (Olayemi 2007).

“…There are several reports on the haematology of the Nigerian local breeds of dog (Oduye and Dipeolu 1976;Oduye and Otesile 1977;Oduye 1978;Saror et al 1979;Awah and Nottidge 1998;Ariyibi et al 2002;Olayemi et al 2009), but none of these studies investigated the EOF of the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog in comparison with any exotic breed of dog. In continuation of our study on haematology of the Nigerian indigenous dog, we compare, in this article, the EOF alongside other erythrocyte values of the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog with those of the German shepherd dog.…”

Haematological analyses are important in early detection of diseases, and breed differences have been suggested (Schalm 1962). This work is a comparative study to establish the influence of breed on erythrocyte osmotic fragility of Nigerian indigenous breed of dog and the German shepherd dog. In the study, erythrocyte values and the erythrocyte osmotic fragility of Nigerian indigenous breed of dog were compared with those of the German shepherd dog. The influence of sex on the erythrocyte values of the German shepherd dog was also investigated. There were no significant differences (P<0.05) in the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) between the two breeds. Red blood cell (RBC) count of the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog was significantly lower than that of the German shepherd dog (P<0.05). The study further reveals that there was no sex difference in the PCV, RBC count, Hb concentration, MCV, MCH and MCHC in the German shepherd dog. Also, erythrocytes of the Nigerian indigenous dog were more fragile than those of the German shepherd dog at 0.3 % NaCl concentration (P<0.05). Erythrocytes of male German shepherd dog were also observed to be more fragile than those of the female at 0.7 % NaCl concentration (P<0.05). This study forms part of an ongoing effort in establishing reference haematological values for the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog.

Anesthesia often involves administration of several drugs from different classes. Drug-drug interactions may affect the duration of action of anesthetic agents. The purpose of this research was to investigate interaction between phenylbutazone and thiopental sodium in dogs. Twenty-six female stray dogs were randomly divided into two groups. Each group subdivided into two subgroups <18kg and ≥18kg. Equivalent doses of thiopental sodium were intravenously administered following the injection of 0.9% normal saline in control group and phenylbutazone via the same route in experimental group. After anesthesia, time intervals needed for the return of palpebral reflex, opening of eyes, tongue movement, stretching of limbs, head and neck movements, sitting position, trying to stand, imbalanced walking and normal walking were recorded. Results showed the average time periods in the experimental group were generally more than those in the control group. It was shown the duration of the above chronological parameters were significantly higher in heavier dogs compared to the lighter. Females generally have a larger proportion of body fat content than males. This may cause a higher volume of distribution and a longer elimination half-life for thiopental in female dogs. This interaction with phenylbutazone may be due to an increase in the unbound form of thiopental sodium and its quicker distribution into the brain and a longer duration of anesthesia. Keywords: Drug interaction, Thiopental sodium, Phenylbutazone, Anesthesia, Dog Kısırlaştırılmış Dişi Köpeklerde Fenilbutazon ve Thiopental Sodyum Etkileşimi: Anesteziden Çıkışa Etkisi ÖzetAneztezi çoğu zaman birden fazla değişik sınıftan ilaçların uygulanmasını içerir. İlaçlar arası etkileşim anestezik maddenin etki süresini etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı köpeklerde fenilbutazon ve thiopental sodyumun etkileşimini araştırmaktır. Yirmi altı kısırlaştırılmış dişi kopek rastgele iki gruba ayrıldı. Her bir grup <18kg ve ≥18kg olmak üzere iki altgruba ayrıldı. Eşit dozlarda olmak üzere thiopental sodyum control grubundakilere intravenöz %0.9 tuzlu su verilmesinin ardından, çalışma grubundakilere ise aynı yolla fenilbutazon verilmesini takiben intravenöz olarak uygulandı. Anesteziyi takiben göz kapağı refleksi, gözünü açma, dilini hareket ettirme, ayaklarını uzatma, kafa ve boyunu hareket ettirme oturma pozisyonunu sağlama, kalkmaya çalışma, dengesiz yürüme ve norma yürüme için geçen süreler kaydedildi. Sonuçlar çalışma grubundaki hayvanlarda kaydedilen ortalama sürelerin genel olarak control grubundaki hayvanlardan daha uzun olduğu gösterdi. Yukarıda belirtilen parametrelerde sürelerin daha ağır köpeklerde hafif olanlara oranla önemli derecede daha uzun olduğu gözlemlendi. Dişiler genellikle erkeklere oranla daha fazla vücut yağına sahiptir. Bu durum, dişilerde daha fazla miktarda yayılmaya ve thiopentalin yarılanma ömrü için daha uzun zamana ihtiyaç doğurabilir. Fenilbutazon ile etkileşim, thiopental sodyumun bağsız formundaki artışa ve onun daha hızlı olarak beyine yayılmasına ...

“…At present, there are increasing numbers of this breed of dogs in Nigeria probably due to their resistance to certain haemoparasitic diseases such as canine babesiosis and trypanosomosis that constantly affect exotic breeds (Olayemi et al, 2009). Some works had reported the haematology of the Nigeria local dog (Saror et al, 1979;Ariyibi et al, 2002;Olayemi et al, 2009). However, there is a paucity of information on the serum biochemistry and urinalysis of the Nigerian local dog.…”

Introduction: Haematological and serum biochemical profiles of dogs are essential in the diagnosis and monitoring of systemic disease in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to determine the baseline haematological, serum biochemical and some urine parameters in clinically healthy dogs presented to the Veterinary teaching hospital (VTH), Ahmadu Bello University (A.B.U.), Zaria, Nigeria. Methods: Thirty apparently healthy dogs comprising of 19 males and 11 females aged between 9 to 36 months were sampled in this study. Whole blood was collected via cephalic venepuncture for determination of haematological parameters. Serum was processed from the whole blood to determine the concentrations of serum metabolites, serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine ratio, anion gap (AG) as well as serum activities of liver enzymes. Urinalysis was done using urine. Data was analysed using Graph pad prism version 5.2. Mean values were determined. Results: No significant (p > 0.05) differences related to sex were observed in the values of packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, red blood cell counts (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), differential and total white blood cell counts. The PCV (p < 0.005), Hb (p < 0.05) and Hb (p < 0.01) of the adults were significantly higher in the young Nigerian indigenous dogs. However, the MCV, MCHC, differential and total white blood cell counts were insignificant in both age groups. Significance: These baseline data would help clinicians to recognize deviations from normal clinicopathological parameters especially in Nigerian Indigenous dogs.
