Keywords:
Renal Disorders, Dogs, Age, Sex, Breed.Abstract
The present study was carried out for two years from April 2015 to April 2017 on a total of 2277 dogs presented to the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, DGCN COVAS Palampur (H.P) from different parts of the Himachal Pradesh as well as neighbouring areas of Punjab. Preliminary screening of dogs for renal disorders was based on the patient's history, clinical signs and routine urinalysis. Furthermore, haemato-biochemical estimation, urine culture and imaging techniques were used for confirmatory and differential diagnosis of renal failure. A total of 108 dogs were found to be suffering from renal disorders indicating incidence of 4.74%. The maximum incidence (50.92%) was found in dogs more than 8 years of age. Males were more affected than females. Labrador Retriever breed was most affected (26.85%) followed by Pomeranian (16.67%) whereas Saint Bernard and Great Dane were least affected (0.93%).Downloads
