“…Haematocrit and haemoglobin values slightly below our in‐house reference interval were found in 14% and 23% of our bitches, respectively. This common finding in pregnant dogs (Concannon, ; Doxey, ; Tietz et al., ) is known under the term of pregnancy‐associated anaemia (Verstegen‐Onclin & Verstegen, ) and is due to disproportion between erythrocyte volume and the gestation‐induced increased plasmatic volume (Concannon, ; Verstegen‐Onclin & Verstegen, ). In a recent large‐scale study (De Cramer et al., ), mean Ht values measured before elective Caesarean section were in the lower reference range (44.2 ± 4.2%), which is similar to our result (45.3 ± 5.9%).…”

“…Canine pregnancy results in changes of the haematology profile including anaemia, which is represented by substantial decreases in packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentrations and red blood cell count (Concannon, 1986;Doxey, 1966;Kimberely, Casal, O'Donnell, & Haskins, 2006;Tietz, Benjamin, & Angleton, 1967). Pregnancyassociated anaemia is most likely due to haemodilution caused by plasma volume expansion (Concannon, 1986;Verstegen-Onclin & Verstegen, 2008).…”

Bitches with dystocia most often present with clinical signs of uterine inertia (UI). The aetiology of myometrial dysfunction in most of these cases is still not elucidated. We compared blood ionized calcium (iCa) and glucose concentrations in bitches diagnosed with primary UI (PUI, n = 14), secondary UI (SUI, n = 6) or obstructive dystocia (OD, n = 6), and we described their haematology profiles. Bitches diagnosed with UI had a patent birth canal and delivered no puppies yet (PUI) or only part of the whole litter (SUI). The OD group had no UI and showed strong abdominal contractions. Blood iCa did not differ between the PUI, SUI and OD groups and was not influenced by litter size. There was a significant positive relationship (R = .241, p = .013) between iCa concentrations and the dam's body weight. Glucose concentrations were also not significantly different between dystocia groups or influenced by body weight and litter size. Hypocalcaemia was detected in 11 bitches, and hypoglycaemia in two bitches. Pregnancy-associated anaemia was seen in about one-third of the bitches. Eight of 12 dogs had increased platelet counts, and ten had leukocytosis with mature neutrophilia. Although iCa did not differ between dystocia groups, low concentrations may have contributed to the development of UI in some of the small size bitches. Hypoglycaemia was uncommon, and therefore, we consider low glucose concentrations not to have played an important role in the pathogenesis of UI in our study population. Pregnancy-associated anaemia, thrombocytosis, leukocytosis and mature neutrophilia were common findings in otherwise healthy bitches diagnosed with different forms of dystocia.

“…Beyond the 4th month of treatment only slightly decreased values for hemoglobin and red blood cell count were found in bitches given STS 557 at the higher doses. But it should be noted that bitches develop anemiá not only following long-term treatment with gestagens (Capel-Edwards et al, 1913), but also during metestrus and at pregnancy (Tietz et al, 1967). The accelerated sedimntation rates of blood cells of some bitches are thought to be associated with mucometra or uvometra.…”

“…Serum cholesterol concentration of dogs in diestrus was 35% higher than that of dogs in other cycle phases ( P < .0001, adjusted P < .0001; Table ). Increased serum cholesterol concentration in diestrus has been reported previously in dogs . Similarly, serum cholesterol concentration in cattle increases from day of onset of estrus to peak levels at day 21 postbreeding in association with increasing concentrations of progesterone from the newly formed corpus luteum.…”
