Abstract

Aging is a process that includes natural and time-dependent changes in the body. Dogs whose quality of life is not adversely affected are classified as healthy elderly dogs. Behavioral and cognitive status should be taken into consideration together with blood analyzes in the health evaluation of old dogs. Therefore, it was aimed to evaluate hematochemical parameters and canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) scale in 10 healthy senior (senior group, SG) and 14 healthy geriatric (geriatric group, GG) dogs in this study. No statistical difference was determined between the groups in the CBC analysis. In the blood gases analysis, pCO2 (P=0.006), base excess (P=0.020) and HCO3 (P=0.041) levels were found to be lower in GG compared to the SG. In serum biochemistry analysis, BUN (P=0.016) and GGT (P=0.003) levels were found to be higher whereas LDH (P=0.008) and triglyceride (P=0.003) levels were found to be lower in GG compared to SG. The total CCD scale score was 14.50 (12-23) in the SG and 50.50 (32-68) in the GG (P<0.001). In conclusion, differences in some parameters were determined as a result of blood gases and serum bio-chemistry analyzes between healthy senior and geriatric dogs, and it was concluded that routine hematochemical ana-lyzes are important also in healthy elderly dogs. In addition, it was observed that the CCD scale scores of Terriers were higher in this study.

Özet

Yaşlanma, vücutta meydana gelen doğal ve zamana bağlı değişiklikleri içeren bir süreçtir. Yaşam kalitesi olumsuz etkilenmemiş köpekler, sağlıklı yaşlı olarak sınıflandırılır. Yaşlı köpeklerin sağlık değerlendirmesinde kan analizleri ile birlikte davranışsal ve bilişsel durum da dikkate alınmalıdır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada 10 sağlıklı yaşlı (Senior grup, SG) ve 14 sağlıklı geriatrik (Geriatrik grup, GG) köpekte hematokimyasal parametrelerin ve köpek bilişsel işlev bozuk-luğu (CCD) ölçeğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Tam kan sayımı (CBC) analizinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel her-hangi bir fark belirlenmedi. Kan gazı analizinde GG'de pCO2 (P=0.006), baz açığı (P=0.020) ve HCO3 (P=0.041) dü-zeyleri SG'ye göre daha düşük bulundu. Serum biyokimyası analizinde GG'de BUN (P=0.016) ve GGT (P=0.003) dü-zeyleri SG'ye göre daha yüksek olarak belirlenirken, LDH (P=0.008) ve trigliserit (P=0.003) düzeyleri daha düşüktü. Toplam CCD skala skoru SG'de 14.50 (12-23), GG'de 50.50 (32-68) olarak belirlendi (P=0.000). Sonuç olarak, sağlıklı yaşlı ve geriatrik köpekler arasında kan gazları ve serum biyokimya analizleri sonucunda bazı parametrelerde farklılık-lar saptandı ve sağlıklı yaşlı köpeklerde de rutin hematokimyasal analizlerin önemli olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Ayrıca, bu çalışma kapsamında Terrier ırkı köpeklerin CCD skala skorlarının daha yüksek olduğu gözlendi.
