Abstract
A clinico-pathological study was conductd on eighteen dogs screened for hepatic dysfunction. Urine samples were collected and processed for gross, microscopic and chemical examination. A low urine specific gravity as reported in these cases which is due to polyuria and polydipsia. The presence of bilirubinuria and bilirubin crystals in the urine was suggestive of canine hepatic dysfunction. An increment in urobilinogen was observed in the urine of dogs having compromised liver. Leucocytes were found in traces, ketonuria was observed in a fecases while there was no presence of nitrites.
