Variaciones hematológicas y de presión sanguínea en perros después de una picadura de abejas

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological parameters and arterial blood pressure in dogs after a bee sting. Materials and methods. Ten adult dogs were used, to which bee venom was inoculated through a direct bee sting. Three blood samples was extracted from the animal, the first sample before inoculation, and the other two samples were extracted 15 and 300 minutes after inoculation. Systolic (SAP), diastolic (DAP), mean (MAP) and pulse arterial pressure were also recorded for an hour, from 15 minutes before venom inoculation up to 45 minutes after, at intervals of three minutes between each record. Results. The erythrogram recorded a decrease in erythrocyte count, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration at time 15 relative to time 0 (p
