Abstract
Hemostasis is an event that can be evaluated, and the incision of certain structures during surgical procedures can alter and consume coagulation factors. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the hemostatic parameters of dogs submitted to elective castration. For this, venous blood was collected in tubes containing sodium citrate from 16 (70%) female dogs submitted to ovary salpingohysterectomy and 7 (30%) male dogs submitted to orchiectomy, for evaluation of Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) in the preoperative period. It can be observed that, in relation to PT (4.73 to 8.73s) and aPTT (10.18 to 23.88s), females presented minimum and maximum values similar to those in the literature. In turn, males presented PT at 4.21s to 6.16s and aPTT at 11.02 to 19.31s, data that corroborate with values observed in the literature. It can be concluded that the reported values of the evaluated hemostatic parameters were similar to those observed in the national and international literature.
