This study was conducted to observe the hematological effect of the small dogs when administrated excessive amount of the Korean native chinese chive(Allium tuberosum Rottler) extracts for a short period. In this experiment, clinically healthy dogs(n = 10, average weight = 4.17 kg) were used. They were inserted stomach tube and administrated the extracts(5ml/kg) for 7 days. The followings are the result of this experiment. The red blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were significantly decreased. (P<0.05) The packed cell volume was slightly decreased. The mean corpuscular volume and methemoglobin concentration were significantly increased.(P<0.05) The white blood cell counts and reduced glutathione were slightly increased. Consequently, We determined that administrated excessive amount of the Korean native chinese chive extracts induced hemolytic anemia.
