Özet:

 


A study on the intoxicative effect
of ethylene glycol in pets has been conducted. Three Albanian cities were
monitored, respectively Tirana, Korça, and Shkodra for a two-year period. The
data from this study was collected in accordance with a questionnaire prepared
in advance, before being processed and analyzed. The main highlighted
indicators monitored were: the number of the intoxicated dogs, the number of
the dogs who were treated, treatment period, mortality, number of the dogs who
were treated each month and season. The number of intoxicated dogs in all three
cities was 59, whereas 52 were treated. 19% of the cases ended in death. Korça
resulted with the highest rate of treatment, and mortality as well, because of
the wide use of the ethylene glycol. In only 32.7% of the cases the dogs were
sent immediately to the clinic for treatment. The animals that were sent to the
clinic late, resulted with a higher mortality rate (25.7% of the treated
animals). The most ethylene glycol poisoning cases happened during the end of
spring and the beginning of summer (43 animals), which is related to the end of
the frost season, when ethylene glycol is not used any more. Human negligence and
a lack of awareness caused the dogs to be in contact with, and get poisoned by,
the ethylene glycol solutions. The conclusion of the monitoring is that there
is a need to highlight that ethylene glycol intoxications are present in dogs
and should be taken in to consideration, because they damage their health.
