Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to evaluate iron status, erythrocyte, and platelet modifications in dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE).
Dogs were grouped as food-responsive diarrhea (FRD, n=11), antibiotic-responsive diarrhea (ARD, n=5), and steroid-responsive diarrhea (SRD, n=6) relating to therapeutic-response.
Clinical and haematological findings, evidence of gastrointestinal blood loss, and iron metabolism were evaluated before and after treatment.
A mild normocytic or microcytic anemia and thrombocytosis were identified, respectively in 18.0% and 31.8% of CE dogs.
No significant differences between pre- and posttreatment of hematocrit, haemoglobin, and mean corpuscular volume, platelet count and mean platelet volume were found.
Statistical analysis pointed out significant differences between pre- and posttreatment in serum iron (P<.03) and unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) (P<.01).
No significant correlations were found between these parameters and canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease activity index and pattern of CE as well.
