Sumario: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.
