    (Kafkas Univ, Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2009) Ocal, Naci; Unsuren, Hikmet
    In this study, a total of 30 dogs of different breeds and gender, with 2 to 6 months of age and 5-16 kg in body weights were used. The parvokit were used to confirm the PVGE in dogs with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Twenty dogs with Parvoviral gastroenteritis (PVGE) were randomly divided into two groups: a traditional treatment group (Group II) and Modified Treatment group (Group III). In Group III, dogs were given. Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) in addition to the traditional treatment procedure. Ten healthy dogs served as control. The affects of TPN was evaluated based on haematological parameters, blood gases values and blood biochemical profiles in blood samples. Prior to treatment, presence of hypoproteinemia and hypoglycemia in most the dogs with PVGE was interpreted as having protein calorie malnutrition (PCM) related to PVGE. Presence of leukocytopenia in diseased dogs indicated presence of lymphoid insufficiency and immune suppression consequence to the virus effects on lymphoid tissues. Based on clinical findings and the results of laboratory examinations, Lactated Ringer in 5% dextrose solution was intravenously given to all sick dogs to reduce the effects of acidosis and dehydration. In addition, 1.3% NaHCOT was administered intravenously to diseased dogs with a base excess status greater than -10. Dogs in modified treatment group also received TPN. Against secondary infections, ceftadizim at 25 mg/kg/daily was given intravenously to the dogs with PVGE. Up to the end of the study, 5 dogs (50%) in the traditional treatment group and one dog in modified treatment group died. As a result, total parenteral nutrition in the treatment of PVGE was found more successful than the traditional treatment as evidenced by the lower mortality rate.
