Abstract
Canine parvovirus (CPV) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality for dogs younger than 1 year-old. Canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE) is a predisposing factor for the development of sepsis. The inflammatory response to the disease may have predictive value for the alterations in the presence of sepsis. Therefore, the diagnostic approach to a septic dog with CPE should include clinical examinations followed by routine laboratory examinations such as hemogram. In this study, a total of 61 dogs, aged 4-6 months, 7 healthy (Control Group) and 54 diseased dogs with clinical signs of CPE such as anorexia, vomiting and hemorrhagic enteritis (CPE Group) were used. CPE group was divided into Septic CPE (n: 25) and Non Septic CPE (n: 29) subgroups in accordance with 2001 systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criterias. Clinical examinations and hemogram analysis from venous blood samples were performed. When compared to the Control group, the respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and body temperature of the dogs in the CPE group were higher (p
