Perfil hematológico de cães sem raça definida clinicamente sadios submetidos à orquiectomia. Avaliação pré e pós-operatória.

Abstract

Aimed with this work to study the blood profile of twelve male dogs, aged 1-4 years, clinically healthy, subject to orchiectomy. The animals was clinically examinated and treated against endo and ectoparasites. From each animal were collected blood samples at four different times: immediately before orchiectomy (MO), 7 (Ml), 14 (M2) and 21 (M3) days after surgery. Was made the counting of erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin content, calculation of RBC indices MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) and MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration), platelet count and total and differential counts of leukocytes. It was observed that when comparing certain times, only on day 21 there was a statistically significant decrease in the values for the number of red blood cells, hematocrit and hemoglobin content. However, these values remained within normal limits for the species. In the other indices, there was no significant change. Thus, can be concluded that orchiectomy leave reduction in the number of the red blood cells, hematocrit and hemoglobin content in the blood.
