abstract
The study was aimed to evaluate the relevance of anamnesis and symptomatology in diagnosis of canine hepatic dysfunction. On the basis of preliminary screening, 18 screened dogs suspected for hepatic dysfunction were examined and the observations were made. Complete history of the pet was obtained from the owner. Clinical manifestations recorded in hepatic dysfunction were lethargy to depression, anorexia, vomition, pale mucosa, diarrhoea, polyuria/polydipsia, pain on abdominal palpation, fever, ascites, icterus, peripheral oedema, emaciation, melena, and petechial haemorrhages. Vomition was observed in 77.78% dogs and out of these, 44.45% dogs showed yellow vomition while 33.33% showed frothy vomition and 44.44% dogs showed complete anorexia.
