Hematological and biochemical profile of dogs with parvovirus gastroenteritis diagnosed by immunochromatography method

Abstract

The objective of this work was to determine the hematological and biochemical characteristics of dogs with parvovirus gastroenteritis diagnosed by rapid immunochromatgraphy method. It was used dogs from Patos municipality, SP, Brazil, showing clinical signs of a gastrointestinal disorder, evident after clinical and laboratory admitted as a general framework gastrointestinal viral infection through testing immunochromatography. The method of chromatographic immunoassay used in this study proved effective in the diagnosis of CPV in dogs affected by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis showing the primary agent involved. However, the diagnosis cannot be based on just a single test, should be reported to the professional veterinarian complementary aspect of its use in correlation with other findings for their elucidation. Data from this survey relating to hematology and serum biochemistry showed significant variations, worthy of considerations before the laboratory finding sand clinical suspicion of presumptive viral gastrointestinal frames, as well as serve as reference values for animals affected by hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, helping small animal clinical in their routine outpatient clinic in the elucidation of the causative agent. Keywords: Gastrointestinal diseases, canine parvovirus, immunochromatographic assay.
