Owing to the development of G reyhounds as racing sighthounds, these dogs have acquired
unique physiologic adaptations that distinguish them from other breeds. Reference intervals …

Key points Imaging techniques such as contrast echocardiography suggest that anatomical
intra‐pulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVAs) are present at rest and are recruited …

Objective The aim of the study was to compare the haematological and biochemical profiles
of eight sighthound breeds. Design Samples were taken from 192 individuals of the …

Objective To measure platelet closure time (PCT) in dogs during controlled hemorrhagic
shock and after fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 or 0.9% sodium …

Objective To determine the cardiovascular and acid-base effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch
(HES) 130/0.4 and 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) administered to anaesthetized greyhounds …

Background Greyhounds have several hematologic variables that are outside of the
respective reference intervals of other dog breeds. In addition, increases in HCT, total …

Objectives Haematologic profiles, electrolyte concentrations, blood gas values and acid–
base balance have been studied and reported in healthy greyhounds; however, there is only …

Background Healthy Dachshunds, like Greyhounds, are reported to have a higher HCT than
other dog breeds; however, there appears to be no objective information to support this …

Abstract Objective To evaluate carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb)
levels in dogs and cats with respiratory disease in the ICU. Design Retrospective study …

Purpose To assess the agreement between pulse co-oximeter and blood co-oximeter in
measuring methemoglobin (MetHb) and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in healthy, awake …
