Subject: Re: Booger's blood values
I wonder if I could get some comment on Boogers blood values. He is a
4.5 yr old MF ferret who had his spleen and half his pancreas removed
last Nov and just had blood work prep to surgery to remove what we think
is an adenoma in the little tip over the end of his penis. My vet is
disturbed by some of these readings.
Test requested Results Values from Units
Dr. Purcell
CBC
Hemoglobin 13.1 12-18.5 g/dl
Hematocrit 42.5 43-55% %
WBC 15.5 2.5-8 103/mcl
RBC 7.92 6.5-11 103/mcl
MCV 54
MCH 16.5
MCHC 30.8
Platelet Count 1137 300-750 103/mcl
Platelet Estimate Increased
Differential Absolute % Value from
Dr. Purcell
Neutrophils 6665 43 30-80%
Bands 0 0
Lymphocytes 8060 52 20-50%
Monocytes 0 0 0-3%
Eosinophils 620 4 0-1%
Basophils 155 1 0-1%
My vet took some of those values to indicate a possible lymphoma and
tried to remove a lymph node from behind the thigh, but was unable to
find one on either side.
