A total of 12 dogs were included in the study out of which 6 were suffering from gastro-enteritis whereas 6 healthy dogs were chosen to serve as healthy control. Hemogram of the dogs suffering from gastro-enteritis revealed significant (P≤0.05) reduction in Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC, neutrophils and MCHC when compared to healthy dogs. While MCV and lymphocyte count increased significantly (P≤0.05). Alterations in biochemical parameters included significant (P≤0.05) increase in serum ALP and AST concentrations and reduced serum albumin.
