Abstract
The ultrasound features and measurements of the heart, liver, spleen, and kid neys of apparently healthy Philippine non-descript dogs were determined according to: sex (15 male and 10 female), age with 15 samples (≤3 years old) and 10 samples (>3 years old); and weight with 14 samples (≤7 kg) and 11 samples (>7 kg). A Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System with 7.5 MHz micro-convex scanner was used. The echocar diographic parameters and indices did not show significant difference between age, sex, and bodyweight groups. Right kidney thickness in males was significantly higher than in females. Echo mean values for the liver, spleen, and kidneys did not show significant differences between age, sex, and body weight groups. The ultrasonographic features obtained in the study can be used as references for diagnosis of diseases and disorders in Philippine non-descript dogs.
