ABSTRACT
Parthiban S, Pothiappan
P, Mukhopadhyay HK., Hematology and treatment of
parvovirus in canine pups, Onl J Vet Res., 29
(3): 139-142, 2025. Hematology and treatment of parvovirus infection in 20 canine pups is
described. We confirmed parvovirus by 20 PCR
primer pairs Hfor /Hrev in
6-8 week old pups and compared results from 4 normal controls. Hematology revealed low white blood cells (WBC) in
80% pups (3 – 5 × 103/µL ), low red blood cells
(RBC) counts in 60% pups (4 - 5 × 106/µL), low hemoglobin (Hb) values
in 50% pups (6-11 g/dl) and the differential leukocyte counts showed neutropenia in 85% pups and Lymphopenia in 60%
pups. All the affected pups were treated symptomatically. All affected pups
were treated with 20mg/kg intravenous (iv) cefotaxime sodium @20mg/kg, 0.2 mg/
kg Perinorm, 1mg/kg Pantoprazole iv, 10 ml/kg DNS iv and
10ml/kg iv Ringer’s lactate BID for 5 days. Fourteen pups recovered completely within five days. Three pups recovered
completely within seven days. Three pups with severe leucopenia and neutropenia
died in therapy.
