Investigation of Electrocardiography Data in Dogs Found in Stray Animals Care and Rehabilitation Centre: Sivas Province Example

Abstract

Dogs are social animals that spend their time searching for food in a wide range of environmental conditions. Taking the dogs from the environmental conditions and keeping them in restricted shelter areas leads to a decrease in their physical activity. The decrease in physical activity in dogs causes mental parameters to be negatively affected and even stress in dogs. Responses that occur in long-term stress situations affect physiological parameters. Decreased physical activity and stress are also effective on cardiac physiological parameters. The aim of the study was to investigate electrocardiography (ECG) parameters in dogs kept in shelter conditions. Within the scope of the study, ECG data were obtained from a total of 20 dogs, grouped by sex (male and female) and age (3 years old and under, and over 3 years old) and statistically compared by Mann-Whitney U test. No statistically significant difference was found between male and female groups in all electrocardiographic parameters (P>0.05). While there was a statistically significant difference between the age groups in terms of Q-T interval duration (P<0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in all other electrocardiographic parameters. In this study, ECG data of dogs in a stray animal care and rehabilitation centre were determined.
