Endoparasitism of Golden Retrievers
A study evaluated data collected from 3,018 owned golden retrievers that were less than 3 years of age. Data collected included complete blood count, serum biochemistry, and fecal flotation. The overall prevalence of endoparasitism was 6.99% (211/3018). Dogs who were parasite positive had lower albumin, lower RBC count, higher neutrophil count, and higher platelet count as compared to negative dogs.
It was also concluded that dogs living in rural areas were more likely to have endoparasites than those living in suburban areas.
