Also be aware if blood is taken under anesthesia (isoflurane).
Ferret health archive SG18213.
Percentage reduction of the 15-minute sample values, compared
with baseline values for all hematologic indices, was:
RBC count, 33%
hemoglobin concentration, 34%
hematocrit, 35% (P < 0.05);
and plasma protein concentration, 20%
All RBC variables returned to within 7 to 14% of baseline
by 45 minutes after termination of anesthesia.
