Influence of antighelminties on the morphological parameters of the blood of boarded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) in oxyurosis

During spontaneous oxyurosis of the bearded dragon, hemoglobin level and the number of red blood cells decreased by 48.3% and 51.1%, respectively, compared with the control. Leukocytosis was observed with a relative increase in the number of eosinophils, heterophiles and azurophils. An increase in the number of leukocytes with a corresponding leukogram, as well as a simultaneous decrease in the number of erythrocytes indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body of reptiles with oxyurosis. The inflammatory process in the first group of reptiles was recorded for 14 days after dewormirng, whereas in the second only for 7 days. Before the deworming, the number of leukocytes in invaded reptiles was 13.2 ± 0.5 G/l - 13.7 ± 0.8 G/l, whereas in the control - 9.9 ± 0.6 G/l. In the first experimental group, the number of leukocytes was at a fairly high level up to 21 days of research, and in the second group only up to 7 days - 10.2 ± 0.4 G/l. In the leukogram of bearded dragon, eosinophilia was recorded in the first and second experimental groups, inclusive, by the 14th day of the studies. Heterophilia in the second group was up to 7 days of research - 19.1 ± 0.2%, and in the first - up to 14 days of research - 18.6 ± 0.4%. It should be noted that in the first experimental group, the number of azurophil in invasive bearded aga was 4.6 ± 0.3% - 3.1 ± 0.3% both before treatment and for 14 days, while in the second group their number was it was both before dewormirng, and on the 3rd day 4.5 ± 0.2%, and on the 7th day it significantly decreased to 2.9 ± 0.1% - reached the level of control. Thus, the use of the "Helmirept" already on the 14th day of research contributed to the normalization of morphological blood parameters, whereas with the use of albendazole, the indicators approached the norm by 21 days, that is, a longer recovery period.
