Abstract
Hemostasis is stopping bleeding in a controlled manner whereas coagulation is a series criterion and to diagnose disorders caused by coagulation in an early period is to determine the coagulation time. These phases are controlled with various tests. In this study, the aim is to determine some coagulation parameters in Sivas Kangal dogs by taking the age and sex into consideration. Coagulation is vitally important in many physiological and pathological cases. The most important tests, complete blood count with peripheral blood smear, prothrombin time PT , activated partial thromboplastin time aPTT , and D-dimer fibrin degradation product assay were applied to all subjects, respectively. It was found that thrombocyte counts in Sivas Kangal dogs were affected by the age factor in automatic and manual counting, whereas they were not affected by sex. In the same way, while PT times showed a meaningful change among groups depending on age, aPTT times were not affected by sex or age. The D-dimer assay results, which show the existence of fibrin degradation product, change depending on age and sex.
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences is published electronically 6 times a year by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK).
Accepts English-language manuscripts on all aspects of veterinary medicine and animal sciences.
Contribution is open to researchers of all nationalities.
Original research articles, review articles, short communications, case reports, and letters to the editor are welcome.
Manuscripts related to economically important large and small farm animals, poultry, equine species, aquatic species, and bees, as well as companion animals such as dogs, cats, and cage birds, are particularly welcome.
Contributions related to laboratory animals are only accepted for publication with the understanding that the subject is crucial for veterinary medicine and animal science.
Manuscripts written on the subjects of basic sciences and clinical sciences related to veterinary medicine, nutrition, and nutritional diseases, as well as the breeding and husbandry of the above-mentioned animals and the hygiene and technology of food of animal origin, have priority for publication in the journal.
A manuscript suggesting that animals have been subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatment will not be processed for publication unless it has been approved by an institutional animal care committee or the equivalent thereof.
The editor and the peer reviewers reserve the right to reject papers on ethical grounds when, in their opinion, the severity of experimental procedures to which animals are subjected is not justified by the scientific value or originality of the information being sought by the author(s).
