CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF BIOLOGICAL LIQUIDS OF OFFICE GERMAN SHEPHERD
The dehydrated blood serum and saliva are investigated at 15 German shepherds by method of an open drop of the Perm military institute. Classical crystallography and crystallography with the addition of sodium chloride were tested. Dog biological fluids have different crystallogenic properties. According to the visometric picture of the serum facies, the normotypic, reactive and depressive functional state of animals is differentiated. 50% of the German Shepherd dogs have a reactive state. This group consisted of males and dogs is younger than two years. With teziography, the crystallographic picture of blood serum changes from sectioning without a basic substance to a more pronounced crystalline structure of facies with the addition of NaCl. Saliva dehydration was accompanied by a more distinct formation of the peripheral, intermediate, and central zones of facies with the most typical fern crystals. The type of crystals, their form, change at a teziography in female are more differentiated and dogs older than 2 years. Crystal sticking is more common in males and adult dogs. We recommend using the crystallographic method in assessing the functional state of dogs.
