Özet
The Schirmer tear test 1 and 2 (STT-1 and STT-2) were performed to evaluate tear production in 20 Turkish Akbas Shepherd Dogs and 21 Turkish Kangal Shepherd Dogs. The mean values for STT-1 and STT-2 in Turkish Akbas and Kangal Shepherd Dogs were 20.7 +/- 2.9 min/min and 21.5 +/- 3.8 mm/min, and 9.8 +/- 2.3 mm/min and 9.8 +/- 3.0 mm/min, respectively. It was determined that neither body weight nor age had a statistically significant effect on these values. There were significantly differences in both STT-1 and STT-2 values between females and males in Shepherd dogs of both breeds (p < 0.05). There were significant fluctuations daily, weekly, or over time for STT-1 and STT-2 values for each breed (p < 0.05). This study has shown that the STT-1 and STT-2 values in both Turkish Akbas Shepherd Dogs and Turkish Kangal Shepherd Dogs are normally distributed and are significantly affected by breed, sex, or measurement sequences.
