The dogs were of the following different breeds: 1) German Shepherd, 2) Dachshund, 3) Leonberger, 4) Saluki, 5) Australian Kelpie, 6) Tibetian Spaniel, 7) Löwchen. Abbreviations used in the table: cTnI = cardiac troponin I; CRP = c-reactive protein; TNF-α = tumour necrosis factor α; PGM = prostaglandin F_2α metabolite; EPC = red blood cell particle concentration; PCV = packed cell volume; Hb = haemoglobin; WBC = white blood cell count; PBN = percentage band neutrophils; SN = segmented neutrophils; Lymph = lymphocytes; Crea = creatinine; ALAT = alanine amino transferase; AP = alkaline phosphatase; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; Alb = albumin, Chol = cholesterol; Temp = body temperature.
* = died within two weeks of surgery.
