Subject: lymphocytes and glucose monitoring
What is the normal range/percent for lymphocytes on a
ferret's CBC? I am trying to get a better idea of Clyde's
problems, but need to know how far his lymphocytes were out of
range. His glucose was again 120 on a test today, but this
was my tester ( I am severe hypoglycemic, medication
regulated), but was wondering if my meter will work for ferret
glucose. I feel it should, but I could be wrong.
From last Wed.
1. Complete blood count
a. Hematcrit 44.0
b. WBC 7.0
c. Platelet estimate--adequate
d. differentail absolute percent
1. Neutrophils 2800 40
2. Bands 0 0
3. Lymphocytes 3780 54
4. Monocytes 70 1
5. Eosinphils 350 5
6. Basophils 0 0
Remarks: Platelets appear clumped on slide, WBC estimated
from smear
