Abstract: The aim of the present study was found any changes in the Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Ceratine Kinase (CK) of carbon dioxide insufflation. Seven adult dogs were used in the experiment. All animals were given ketamine-xylazine as general anesthesia Pneumoperitonuim was done with CO2, gas insufflation was kept at a constant of 8 L min-1 and 12 mmHg throughout the experiment. ALT, AST and CK were measured at the beginning before given general anesthesia, before insufflation and 60 min, 24 h and 1 week after insufflation. The study show significant increase in ALT, AST and CK, 60 min after insufflation with CO2 while, it retrained to normal value after 7 days. All changes not pass the normal range that’s present in dogs and this put our to believe that pneumoperitoneum with CO2 is suitable and safe method in dogs.
