Gastroenteritis in canines is considered as an emergency like disease condition which might be associated with oxidative stress. So this study was planned to correlate oxidative stress with gastroenteritis in dogs. The study included fifty two dogs suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea presented to VCC, COVS, LUVAS, Hisar. Oxidative stress parameters estimated were antioxidant enzymes (SOD, Catalase and GPx) and trace minerals (Fe, Cu and Zn) along with haemato-biochemical parameters and serum electrolytes. The values of the gastroenteritic dogs were compared with healthy control dogs which were brought to clinics for routine vaccination. Majority of the affected dogs showed haemo-concentration with increased packed cell volume, leucocytosis, neutrophilia and thrombocytopenia along with elevated liver and kidney function parameters and decreased serum electrolytes. The gastroenteritic dogs showed significant lower values of antioxidant enzymes i.e. SOD, Catalase, GPx and trace elements Fe, Cu and Zn in comparison with the healthy dogs. The findings of the present study indicated that the dogs with gastroenteritis suffer from acute oxidative stress.
