dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of thyme extract in puppies naturally infected with ascarids. Material-Method: The study consisted of 20 puppies of different sexes, 2-4 months old, naturally infected with ascarid. There were given an oral 20% concentration of thyme extract for 3 days to puppies, and faecal egg counts were conducted on the 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th days after the treatment was started (day 0). Also, serum urea, creatinine, AST, ALT levels were monitored on the 0th and 3rd days, together with daily clinical examination, to monitor possible toxic effects. Result: In 2 puppies (10%), the fecal egg count was highly variable at post-treatment examinations, but no reduction in egg count was observed. Egg shedding in 7 (35%) of the treated puppies was zero. It was observed that egg shedding was not completely zero in 11 of the puppies (55%). However, the egg counts decreased by 25% to 98.3%. It was also observed that the values of the measured blood biochemical values were within reference range except serum urea levels and the puppies did not show any clinical sign of toxicity during the treatment. Conclusion: It was concluded that the thyme extract did not have any toxic effect in the puppies at the concentration studied, and it could be effective in the treatment of ascariasis.
