The objective of this study was to investigate the thromboelastography (TEG) variables and platelet count after Asian pit viper (Gloydius) envenomation in dogs compared with healthy control dogs. Ten dogs with snake envenomation and twenty healthy dogs were included. There was a significant decrease in G (P=0.017), maximum amplitude (MA) (P=0.012), angle value (P=0.041), platelet count (P<0.001, as well as an increase in K value (P=0.034) and R value (P=0.007) in dogs with snake envenomation. The results of this study revealed that dogs with Asian pit viper (Gloydius) envenomation showed a hypocoagulable state compared with healthy dogs. Our findings may support the use of TEG for diagnosing and monitoring coagulopathy after Asian pit viper (Gloydius) envenomation in dogs.
本研究旨在探讨亚洲蝮蛇（Gloydius）咬伤犬的血栓弹力图（TEG）变量和血小板计数与健康对照犬的比较。纳入 10 只蛇咬伤犬和 20 只健康犬。蛇咬伤犬的 G 值（P=0.017）、最大振幅（MA）（P=0.012）、角度值（P=0.041）、血小板计数（P<0.001）显著降低，K 值（P=0.034）和 R 值（P=0.007）升高。本研究结果表明，与健康犬相比，亚洲蝮蛇（Gloydius）咬伤犬表现出低凝状态。我们的发现可能支持 TEG 用于诊断和监测亚洲蝮蛇（Gloydius）咬伤犬后的凝血功能障碍。
