Background: Most automated hematology analyzers cannot detect canine or feline basophils. However, many veterinary laboratories continue to report basophils as part of the automated 5-part differential leukocyte count for dogs and cats. Objectives: The study objectives were to evaluate the...

Trichuris vulpis and Toxocara canis are worldwide parasitic nematodes affecting dogs and mammals of the Canine family. Due to the special structure of the shells, the eggs of these geohelminths can maintain their viability in soil, sand, water and the environment for a long time. The study involved ...

Basophil granulocytes are the least frequent leukocyte population in the peripheral blood almost in all mammals. As in other less numerous cell populations the manual enumeration of basophils suffers from inaccuracy. The majority of automated hematology analyzers are unable to detect basophils...

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of gender on haematological parameters in forty (40) clinically healthy German Shepherd dogs of twelve months above age and body weight between 30 - 40 kg. Haemoglobin concentration, total erythrocyte count, packed cell volume, mean cell volume,...

The myelogram corresponds to the bone marrow evaluation and it represents an important resource in the dog's clinics to determinate alterations in the blood circulation. Its basis is the assessment of bone marrow, which in adults is mainly present in flat bones such as the sternum and ribs, and its ...

Complete blood count (CBC) is the evaluation of blood cells, which provides resourceful information. Considering that inadequate fasting time is the most common pre-analytical error in laboratory diagnosis and is associated with lipemia in blood samples, which has not yet been adequately...

A 45-days-old, female Labrador dog weighing 2.5 kg was presented with a history of high fever, inappetence and weakness for 10 days. The blood smears of dog showed Anaplasma platys basophilic inclusions in platelets. The dog was treated successfully Key words : with doxycycline along with other...

This study was conducted on 40 clinically healthy dogs at Baghdad Veterinary Hospital for confirmation of normal hematological and biochemical parameters. Clinical examination was recorded the normal range pulse/minute 60-159, respiratory rate/minute 16-123 and body temperature 37.5-39.2. The...

Because changes in rat and dog hematological parameters according to storage conditions have been poorly documented, we sought to examine such changes. Blood analysis was performed using two hematology analyzers (ADVIA 2120i and Sysmex XN-V) after storage at room temperature and in cold storage for ...
