Comparison of Rectal, Eye and Ear Temperatures in Kangal Breed Dogs

Bu çalışmanın amacı 30 sağlıklı kangal köpeğinin kulak, göz ve rektal ısılarını karşılaştırmaktı. Rektal ısı standart digital rektal termometre kullanılarak ölçüldü. Sağ ve sol göz ısısı carancula lacrimalis bölgesinden kızılötesi termal kamera ile belirlendi. Timpanik termometre sağ ve sol kulak ısı değerlerini belirlemede kullanıldı. Veriler Pearson korelasyon testi ile analiz edildi. Karşılaştırmalı analizler tüm metodlar arasında önemli bir farklılık olmadığını gösterdi. Kangal köpeklerinde kulak ve göz ısısının ölçülmesi, vücut ısısının belirlenmesi için alternatif bir yöntem olabilir.

Kangal Irkı Köpeklerde Kulak, Göz ve Rektal Isıların Karşılaştırılması

The aim of this research was to compare rectal, eye and ear temperature of 30 healthy Kangal dogs. Rectal temperature was measured by use of standard rectal digital thermometer. Right and left eye temperatures were detected by infrared thermal camera from the carancula lacrimalis region. Tympanic thermometer was used to determine right and left ear temperatures. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test. The comparative analysis showed no significant differences between the measurement methods. Measuring of ear and eye temperature could be an alternative method to obtain body temperature in Kangal dogs.
