Hematology (Complete Blood Count) Reference Ranges. Data on various species compiled and adapted in part from multiple sources, including Latimer KS, Duncan & Prasse’s Veterinary Laboratory Medicine: Clinical Pathology, 5th ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2011; and Weiss DJ, Wardrop KJ, Schalm’s Veterinary Hematology, 6th ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2010.
• Firstly, examine the smear under a low power lens (× 10) to check for any platelet clumps, which are often found in the feathered edge. • Using the high power oil immersion lens (× 100), examine the morphology of the platelets and count the number in 10 high power fields.
Platelets measure cells that form blood clots. Retics (reticulocytes) are immature red blood cells.High levels indicate regenerative anemia; low levels indicate non-regenerative anemia.
Platelets are small, cell-like particles produced in the bone marrow and then released into the blood. They function to start the formation of blood clots. Platelets gather where bleeding occurs and clump together to form the initial plug that stops or slows the flow of blood.

Veterinary hematology analyses: reference ranges. Veterinary hematology differs from human hematology, in that the hematopoietic cells differ between animals species and breeds. In contrary to mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds have nucleated red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets (PLTs).
