title: Organ weights in the dog.
abstract: The masses of the major organs in eight large dogs, mostly of alsatian type, which had been subjected to about 8 h anaesthesia and surgery, were determined by post mortem weighing. The organ masses as percentage of the total body mass (29.6 +/- 6.0 kg, mean +/- sd) were: brain 0.28 +/- 0.05, gut 2.61 +/- 0.49, heart 0.73 +/- 0.04, kidneys 0.40 +/- 0.07, liver 2.36 +/- 0.38.
