Resumo
Canine demodicyosis is a parasitic skin problem commonly found in dogs caused by theproliferation of follicular mites of the Demodex canis species. Clinical laboratory tests inyoung dogs with demodicides usually do not show consistent abnormalities, however, suchabnormalities do appear in such chronic diseases as anemia, with elevations in leukocytenumbers, hyperglobulinemia, and depressed thyroid hormone concentrations, which arefound in many dogs. We analyzed the hemogram of 36 dogs diagnosed with demodecticmange that were treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of CampinaGrande, in the municipality of Patos. Among hematological changes, thrombocytopenia(40.9%), anemia (68.2%), neutrophilia (27.3%), eosinophilia (27.3%) and lymphopenia(36.4%) were found to be more prevalent. We can conclude that all the animals of thepresent study had alterations in some aspect of the hematological profile.Palavras-chave: hematologia; dermatopatia; ácaros; Demodex spp.(AU)
