- Abstract
The Canine Ehrlichiosis is a serious infectious disease affecting animals of the family Canidae. The prognosis can be determined by the situation of the patient and through erythrogram. In erythrogram many indices are determined as the RDW, which indicates the erythrocytes amplitude distribution, in the platelet evaluation, platelets are counted and their average size and volume change is determined (MPV and PDW). These data allow that, when crossed with other results, they can be important indicatives of clinical diagnoses and prognostic. This study analyzed the RDW and PDW in dogs with clinical and laboratory erilquiose diagnose, and the results were analyzed and compared in order to help determine the prognosis.
