Systemic Inflammatory Syndrome (SIRS) has been recognized as a life threatening condition in both human and small animal patients admitted in critical care units. Septic and non-septic etiologies were documented in the cases with SIRS. Thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) were consistently observed in many cases with SIRS. Hence, this study was carried out to evaluate the pattern of platelet indices in dogs with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) in comparison with healthy controls. This study evaluated the platelet indices in blood samples obtained from 30 dogs admitted in Critical Care Unit of Madras Veterinary College with SIRS and the results were compared with 10 healthy dogs. Based on physical and hematological examination the dogs with SIRS were classified as SIRS signs with thrombocytopenia (n=15) and SIRS signs without thrombocytopenia (n=15). Blood samples were collected by cephalic venipuncture and analysis was performed using the auto hematology analyzer. The parameters assessed were viz., Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and Plateletcrit (PCT). The factorial ANOVA model was used for statistical analysis. The results revealed significant variations in platelet indices viz., MPV, PDW and PCT between the healthy dogs and the dogs with SIRS.
