Correlation of hematologic parameters and cobalamin in dogs with chronic diarrhea

Correlation of hematologic parameters and cobalamin in dogs with chronic diarrhea
  • Cobalamin deficiency may lead to reduced erythrocyte count

Chronic diarrhea in dogs is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts canine health, often leading to weight loss, dehydration, and malnutrition. Diagnosing and treating chronic diarrhea is challenging due to its multifactorial nature, necessitating collaboration among veterinarians across various specialties. Measuring cobalamin and folate levels is a crucial diagnostic step for all dogs with chronic diarrhea. The role of these vitamins in erythropoiesis is well-documented in human medicine, where deficiencies are linked to erythropoietic disorders and megaloblastic anemia. This study explores the relationship between cobalamin and folate concentrations with hematologic parameters in dogs with chronic diarrhea to develop novel diagnostic ...
