ABSTRACT: Canine distemper is a viral, contagious and systemic disease that affects dogs of all ages with a high rate of morbidity and mortality and no predilection for sex or breed. It has a subclinical and clinical character; the signs are divided into the acute and chronic phases. Most of these signs are nonspecific and multisystemic, affecting several organ systems. This retrospective study aimed to correlate clinical signs with changes in hematological parameters. 175 dogs with a positive diagnosis for canine distemper were obtained. These dogs were divided into groups according to the altered organ systems and the hematological evaluation of these groups. The most affected organ systems were: gastrointestinal (81.71%), ophthalmic (77.14%), respiratory (64.57%), musculoskeletal (65%), integumentary (65%) and nervous (53.14%). Less than 10% of dogs showed two or fewer changes. Regarding the hematological changes, anemia (71.42%) was observed in all evaluated groups, followed by lymphopenia (63.42%), thrombocytopenia (53.14%), and eosinopenia (50.85%). Despite hematological changes have shown a high frequency of anemia and lymphopenia among the dogs assessed in this study, it was not possible relate with clinical signs, since the signs are nonspecific and multisystemic.
