A total number of 40 male German Shepherd dogs less than 3 - years age were used in this study. Ten of them were apparently healthy and used as a control group (group I, 10 of them were sampled just after performing an exercise (400- meter race) served as fitness group (group II ), 10 of them were examined after transportation for one hour in crowded van at hot weather (42°C) and direct sun light (group III), and 10 were diseased with different respiratory diseases (2 tonsil .. litis.4 bronchopneumonia,4 pneumonia) (group IV). Blood and serum samples were collected from each animal in all groups for hematological and biochemical examination. In addition, heparinized blood samples were collected from the femoral artery from each animal for determination of acid- base status, and blood gas analysis.
