Abstract: The goal of this article is to present the technical aspects and the applications of the blood cells examination and haemostasis in dogs and cats. Technical realisation of blood counts, cytology of normal and abnormal blood cells and significance of the pathologic cell counts are successively treated. Distinctive features of cytology and cell counts in herbivores, horses and cattle, are detailed in a separate chapter.Difficulties of veterinary haematology lie in qualitative and quantitative differences between blood cells of various animal species.Bone marrow cells exploration is not performed in this review. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter les modalités et les applications de l’exploration des éléments figurés du sang et de l’hémostase en médecine vétérinaire des carnivores domestiques (chien et chat). La réalisation technique de l’hémogramme, la morphologie des différentes cellules sanguines normales et l’interprétation des numérations cellulaires seront successivement envisagées. Les modifications pathologiques des numérations cellulaires et des frottis seront également abordées. Les particularités de l’hémogramme normal et pathologique des herbivores domestiques (cheval et bovins) sont mentionnées dans un chapitre séparé. La difficulté de l’hématologie vétérinaire réside dans les dissemblances, tant qualitatives que quantitatives, entre cellules sanguines des différentes espèces animales. L’exploration des cellules de la moelle osseuse hématopoïétique ne sera pas abordée dans cet article.

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.
This research article provides a comprehensive study of veterinary hematology, focusing on technical aspects and applications for testing blood cells and investigating haemostasis in dogs, cats, herbivores, horses, and cattle. However, it does not consider the exploration of bone marrow cells.
Technical Aspects and Applications of Blood Cells Examination
- The paper delves into the technical realization of blood counts in animals. This process involves counting the number of various types of blood cells to determine the health status of the animal.
- In addition to blood cell counts, the study also touches on cytology, which is the microscopic examination of blood cells. Cytology can reveal the normal and abnormal characteristics of these cells, helping veterinarians diagnose potential animal diseases.
- The article also discusses the interpretation of cell counts. By analyzing the numbers of different types of cells in the blood, veterinarians can gain insights into possible health problems in animals.
Pathologic Cell Counts and Cytology of Blood Cells
- The research follows up with signify the relationship between pathologic cell counts and animal health. For instance, unusual number of certain cells can indicate the existence of specific illness, which guides treatment decision.
- It also explores changes in pathologic cytology of blood cells. Underlying health conditions may alter the microscopic structures of these cells, and understanding these changes could lead to accurate diagnosis.
Particularities of Herbivore’s Hematology
- The paper reviews hematology features of domestic herbivores like horses and cattle separately. Due to their distinct physiology, their blood cells and hemostatic parameters might show unique characteristics as compared to carnivores.
Challenges in Veterinary Hematology
- The challenges faced in veterinary hematology are alluded to, most notably involving the qualitative and quantitative differences in blood cells between various animal species. This variability presents difficulties in comparing results and standardising methodology.
