Changes in serum α1-acid glycoprotein (α1AG) levels in dogs with mammary tumors during perioperation period was investigated. The α1AG concentration showed higher levels in dogs with malignant tumors than in those with benign tumors before surgery. In most cases of both groups, it increased in 2 days after operation and returned to the pre-operation level within 14 days after operation. However, in cases with advanced stages and poor prognosis, α1AG levels remained higher on the 14th day. These results suggest that the α1AG concentration in dogs may be an indicator of the stage of mammary tumor, the possibility of recurrence and poor prognosis.
