This study presents the main changes in the biochemical and hematological blood parameters of dogs and cats infected with toxocara. Presented data are based on the animal’s age and welfare. The authors conclude that the pattern of hematological disorders is most pronounced in young animals and proceeds with signs of general intoxication and sensibilizationof the body, hypoxia, anemia and damage to the internal organs (liver and pancreas).
