| Summary: | The study was carried out on 8 mixt-breed dogs, ages 1-8 years old, which we took blood samples from in order to determine the serotonin content at four different moments. The first moment of blood sampling was registered as moment zero (M0), five minutes after fitting the cannula. At moment 1 (M1), samples were collected, then the dog experienced a state of well-being, either because the owner played with it, or because it was offered its favorite treat. Moment 2 (M2) was the moment when the dog experienced a state of anxiety becoming irritable and even aggressive, depending on its temper. At the last moment (M3), the dog was left to calm down and then a blood sample was collected. After analyzing the results obtained, it can be said that there was a positive correlation between the dog's posture and changes in
serotonin values, depending on the individual's involvement. |
