- Abstract
Salt poisoning could be important for the pets’ life. High salt and low water consumptions can be effective in the formation of salt poisoning. Low levels of salt poisoning increase blood pressure which reduces the quality of life. Plant-origin cat and dog liquid additives are previously used and improve water consumption of rats. In this study, 36 wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (regular diet with water (RDW), 3% salt containing diet with water (SW) or cat (SCat) or dog (SDog) liquid additives added to their water). Animals were fed ad libitum for two weeks. At day 0 and day 14, blood samples were collected from the rats. At Day 14, the rats were individually placed in metabolic cages and urine and fecal samples were also taken. The rats were subjected to necropsy and kidney tissue was removed. Sodium (Na) concentration of urine samples were 36% SCat and 45% SDog higher than those measured in the SW groups. Na concentration of the feces was higher in SW groups (27% or 47%) than those in the SCat and SDog groups, respectively. According to the kidney tissue microscopic findings, the health conditions of the SCat and SDog groups, supplemented with the additive were improved. Especially, SDog product reduced the negative effects of elevated salt intake on rats.
