Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of age and gender on the value of electroretinogram (ERG) in healthy dogs. The ERG responses of 68 eyes of 34 dogs (22 males, 12 females) were recorded following the diagnostic protocol for dogs recommended by International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision under general anesthesia using medetomidine and tiletamine-zolazepam combination. There were significant differences in the implicit time of a-wave of Hi-int R & C response among age groups (P < 0.05) and in the implicit time of a-wave of cone response between male and female (P < 0.05). The rest ERG responses seem to be not affected by age and gender of healthy dogs.
