Perfil glicêmico de cães (Canis familiares, Linnaeus, 1958) sem raça definida clinicamente sadios, de diferentes faixas etárias e sexos, mantidos em domicílios no município de Patos - PB.

Abstract

Glycemic profile of clinically healthy mixed breed dogs (Canis familias, Linnaeus, 1958), of different age groups and sexes, kept in households in the city of Patos - PB. The use of reference values obtained for glucose in dogs in different regions may not be suitable for the interpretation of the results due to local environmental variations. The aim of this work was to determine the glycemic profile of mongrel dogs (SRD), clinically healthy from different age groups and both sexes, kept in the city of Patos-PB. A total of 60 mongrel dogs, males and females, young, adults and the old, of which blood samples were collected by venipuncture for glucose dosage. Biochemical analysis was determined by the spectrophotometric method. The groups were statistically analyzed using the software Assistat 7.6 beta, applied the Mann-Whitney test at 5% probability, evaluating age groups and sexes. There was no statistical difference for the different groups studied, and compared with literature values, it was found that the results were within the reference values.
