Prior to anaesthesia ([T.sub.0]), it was found that there was no difference between the two groups in terms of PT, TT, aPTT and BMBT (p=0.426 p=0,091, p=0.166, p=0.686, p=0.209, respectively).
No significant difference was found between the pre-anaesthesia and post-anaesthesia clotting times, PT, TT, aPTT and BMBT in dogs in the D/P group (p=0.890, p=0.836, p=0.563, p=0.341, p=0.437, respectively).
In dogs in the D/R group, however, BMBT was found to be shorter following anaesthesia compared to before anaesthesia (p=0.048).
