Breed: Received on:
E12326
15 yr
Domestic Short Hair 19 Jun 2021
LABORATORY REPORT - CYTOLOGY
Specimen received: EDTA blood
9BS00000SG Blood smear interpretation by pathologist Specimen
Total three slides received. Unstained blood smears x3 -> (s0-2) (labelled Bld Smr 19/6).

Clinical History
Chronic neutropenic and anaemia. Additional History on file.


Microscopic Examination
The erythrocyte density of the specimen appears moderately to markedly decreased. Polychromatophils are not observed. Erythrocyte morphology is otherwise unremarkable.
The leukocyte density of the specimen appears markedly decreased. Mature, segmented neutrophils are rare and are found mainly at the feathered edge of the smear. Mononcytes and small lymphocytes are similarly rare. Leukocyte morphology is unremarkable.
Platelet numbers appear markedly decreased. Platelets morphology is unremarkable.

Diagnosis
Peripheral blood, pancytopenia

Comments
Bone marrow evaluation, including core biopsy, is recommended if clinically warranted, as extramedullary causes of pancytopenia are few and uncommon. Bacterial sepsis, feline infectious peritonitis, and infection with Cytauxzoon felis may also be considered if consistent with this cats clinical presentation.

(FIV positive on test).

3608. A factory dog has yellow gums and eye whites. Jaundice.

 An emaciated factory dog stopped eating - yellow gums and eye whites.


This emaciated 6-year-old female factory dog stopped eating for the past few days. I checked her gums and eye white. They were yellowish, indicating jaundice. Blood test confirmed jaundice. Liver enzymes were elevated. ALT = 323 U/L - normal should be less than 59 normal. AST = 81 U/L normal should be less than 81. Although the total white cell count was normal, the neutrophils were 93.3%, absolute 9.89 x 10^9/L. Normal should be around 80%. The lymphocytes went down to 6%, absolute 0.65 x 10^9/L. Normal should be around 20%. There is a possibility of bacterial infections although the dog had no fever. X-rays showed hard lumps of stools which were palpable. The factory owner did not want further treatment other than Zentonil tablets for the liver and antibiotics. The dog was given IV drip with antibioitc. She ate during the one-day in-patient treatment and went home. UPDATES AT: https://2010vets.blogspot.com/2021/06/3608-factory-dog-has-yellow-gums-and.html
