Resumo
The obesity is a physical condition more frequent in each time in the population of pets, being able to contribute for the sprouting of systemic alterations capable to compromise the health of the animals. Ahead of the displayed one, this
experiment was developed in the Veterinarian Hospital of the Federal University of Goiás, with 26 adult female dogs, castrated and without defined brand, they had been fed with commercial diet ad libitum, during 36 weeks, and had biweekly
accompaniment of the nutritional state by means of clinical parameters (body condition score - BCS), morphometrics (abdominal perimeter, thoracic perimeter, thigh perimeter) and for the equations for determination of the percentage of
corporal fat and index of corporal mass (IMC1=weightkg/height of withersm; IMC2=weightkg/hight of withers2 m; IMC3=weightkg/spine lengthm; IMC4=weightkg/spine length2
m). The metabolic accompaniment was carried through, monthly, by means of evaluation of the serum biochemistry (glucose, urea, creatinin, albumin, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL). The objective of the work was to verify the associations between the morphometrics variables and
the serum biochemistries, by means of the multivariate analysis of main components. In the results, bigger association between corporal weight was perceived, thoracic perimeter and of thigh. Moreover, associations between the IMC3 and IMC4 were verified, respectively, by abdominal perimeter and BCS. The percentage of corporal fat was antagonistic to the perimeter of the thigh and corporeal weight and was associated to BCS and IMC4. Related to the serum
biochemistry, associations between glucose and creatinin had been observed; and between the total cholesterol and HDL. Antagonism of the albumin with triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL was verified. Moreover, the percentage of
weight gain and the urea texts had been inversely proportional to the concentrations of glucose and creatinin. The present study allowed to conclude that the morphometric, especially the measure of thoracic perimeter and the classification of body condition score constitute efficient methods of monitorament of the corporal conformation, and also, to conclude that, dogs submitted to the weight gain for a short period of time, had been capable to develop compensatory
mechanisms of keeping the homeostasis of metabolism, keeping the biochemical concentrations inside of the values of reference.
