The Research of Effectiveness of Parvulyte Gel® in Dogs with Parvoviral Enteritis

Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of Parvulyte® in dogs with parvoviral enteritis. The animal material of the study consisted of 14 dogs diagnosed with parvoviral enteritis due to clinical examination and immunochromatographic rapid test kits brought to XX University Veterinary Health Application and Research Center Internal Diseases Clinic and private veterinary clinics in Izmir. After the diagnosis of parvoviral enteritis, the dogs in the first group received fluid therapy along with vitamin-mineral-electrolyte-amino acid supplements, pantoprazole, cefazolin sodium and maropitant citrate (Group I, n=7). The dogs in the second group received Parvulyte® in addition to the same treatment protocol (Group II, n=7). Both groups were treated for 7 days. It was observed that the dogs in Group II had an increase in the lymphocyte count, a faster increase in antibody titers, and a faster clinical recovery compared to the stool scoring table created. As a result, Parvulyte® accelerated the clinical recovery and shortened the hospitalization time in dogs with parvoviral enteritis.

Parvoviral Enteritisli Köpeklerde Parvulyte Jelin® Etkinliğinin Araştırılması

Öz

Bu çalışma Parvulyte®'nin parvoviral enteritisli köpeklerdeki etkinliğini göstermeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın hayvan materyalini, XX Üniversitesi Veteriner Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi İç Hastalıkları Kliniği ve İzmir'deki özel veteriner kliniklerine getirilen, klinik muayene ve immunokromatografik hızlı test kitleri ile parvoviral enteritis tanısı konulan 14 köpek oluşturdu. Parvoviral enteritis tanısı konulduktan sonra birinci gruptaki köpeklere sıvı tedavisi ile birlikte vitamin-mineral-elektrolit-amino asit takviyesi, pantoprazol, sefazolin sodyum ve maropitant sitrat verildi (Grup I, n=7). İkinci gruptaki köpekler aynı tedavi protokolüne ek olarak Parvulyte® almıştır (Grup II, n=7). Her iki grup da 7 gün boyunca tedavi edilmiştir. Grup II'deki köpeklerin lenfosit sayısında artış, antikor titrelerinde daha hızlı bir artış ve oluşturulan dışkı skorlama tablosuna kıyasla daha hızlı bir klinik iyileşme olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Parvulyte® parvoviral enteritisli köpeklerde klinik iyileşmeyi hızlandırmış ve hastanede kalış süresini kısaltmıştır.
