Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) in ascitic dogs. This Study was conducted at veterinary clinical complex, College of Veterinary Science & A.H., Jabalpur. After confirmation of ascitic fluid in abdomen by ultrasonography fluid was aspirated. On the basis of Serum ascitic albumin gradient (SAAG) more number of ascites cases was of low gradient as compare to high gradient. The predominance of low gradient ascites was more in male, while in female equal Distribution of low and high gradient ascites was found.
