Resumen
El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la frecuencia cardiaca (FC) y la presión arterial(PA) en perros domésticos de un criadero como respuesta al contacto con una personadesconocida, teniendo en cuenta si la sociabilidad influye en estas respuestas. Se trabajócon 18 perros adultos, entre 1 a 8 años, de ambos sexos, de las razas Smooth Fox Terrier,Wire Hair Fox Terrier y Beagle, de un criadero de la ciudad de Corrientes, Argentina. Seaplicó un test de sociabilidad que constaba de dos fases de dos minutos cada una. En lafase pasiva la persona no interactúa con el animal y en la fase activa la persona interactúacon el animal por medio de caricias. Se registraron las variables de latencia, contactofísico y visual y señales de miedo/sumisión. Con base a las respuestas, los animales sedistribuyeron en un grupo poco social (1; n=9) y uno social (2; n=9). Se determinó lapresión arterial (sistólica [PS], diastólica [PD], media [PM]) y la frecuencia cardiaca (FC)antes y después de la interacción con la persona desconocida. Los perros del grupo 2(sociables) presentaron diferencia significativa en las mediciones de PS y FC antes ydespués de la interacción (p=0.02 y p=0.04, respectivamente). Asimismo, se encontródiferencia significativa entre grupos para la variable PS después de la interacción con lapersona (p=0.03). La interacción con la persona desconocida aumentó la FC y PS en losperros poco sociales, en tanto que disminuyó la PS en los perros sociales.
The aim of the study was to evaluate heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in domestic dogs of a breeding facility in the city of Corrientes, Argentina in response to contact with an unknown person, taking into account whether sociability influences these responses. A total of 18 adult dogs, aged 1 to 8 years, of both sexes, of the Smooth Fox Terrier, Wire Hair Fox Terrier and Beagle breeds were studied. A sociability test was applied, consisting of two phases of two minutes each. In the passive phase the person does not interact with the animal and in the active phase the person interacts with the animal through caresses. The variables of latency, physical and visual contact and signs of fear/submission were registered. Based on the responses, the animals were distributed in a less social group (1, n=9) and a more social group (2, n=9). Blood pressure (systolic [PS], diastolic [PD], mean [PM]) and heart rate (FC) were determined before and after interaction with the unknown person. Dogs of group 2 (sociable) showed significant differences in PS and FC measurements before and after the interaction (p=0.02 and p=0.04, respectively). Likewise, there was a significant difference between groups for the PS variable after interaction with the person (p=0.03). The interaction with the unknown person increased the FC and PS in the less social dogs, while the PS decreased in social dogs.
