Abstract

In the present study, haemato-biochemical changes associated with canine demodicosis are reported. Dogs (n, 16) affected with generalized demodicosis revealed significant reduction in total erythrocyte count and haemoglobin levels. All the dogs had normal packed cell volume. Affected dogs also showed leukocytosis accompanied by neutrophilia, eosinophilia and lymphopenia. Dogs had normal serum protein levels, normal A/G ratio, reduced serum albumin levels, increased serum globulin and cholesterol levels. Dogs with demodicosis did not show any significant difference in total T4 and free T4 levels when compare with health dogs.
