dc.description.abstract | Two mongrel dogs were presented with a history of recumbency, salivation,
dullness and depression that had started following snake bites. Physical
examination revealed swellings with fang marks and hemorrhage in the area of
bites. The hematological parameters showed reduced values of erythrocyte
counts, platelet counts, hemoglobin, packed cell volume and increased total
leukocyte count. The biochemical values showed elevated levels of alanine
aminotransferase and creatinine. The successful treatment was done with antisnake
venom, fluids, corticosteroid, antihistamines and antibiotic. | en_US |
