15 maj 2009 · 1. Neutrophilia is defined as absolute neutrophil counts >12,000/μL in dogs and >12,500/μL in cats; it is the most common contributor to leukocytosis.
Neutropenia may develop because of excessive tissue demand for neutrophils or reduced granulopoiesis. It may be occur in the presence of overwhelming bacterial infections, especially gram-negative sepsis or endotoxemia, in all species.
Case records of 232 dogs and 29 cats with neutropenia were reviewed to examine the spectrum of underlying etiologies causing the neutropenia. Six etiological categories included nonbacterial infectious disease; increased demand due to marked inflammation, bacterial sepsis, or endotoxemia; drug-assoc ….
