Normal dogs and cats should have platelet counts close to or >200,000/µL; normal horses should have platelet counts of 100,000/µL or greater (foals have higher platelet counts than adults, usually >200,000/µL).
An abnormal increase in the number of platelets is rare and often the cause is not known. It may be associated with bone marrow disease or with long-term blood loss and iron deficiency. There are also disorders in which platelets do not function properly.
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.
In CKCS and Norfolk Terriers, platelet counts with impedance-or laser-based or manual methods range from as low as 30 to 150,000/µL and 19 to 110,000/µL, respectively, but affected dogs are usually asymptomatic and have normal platelet crits (due to increased platelet size).
6 kwi 2017 · What are Thrombocytosis? Thrombocytosis, also known as thrombocythemia, is a serious abnormality affecting the ability of your dog’s blood to clot correctly. If your dog has thrombocytosis it means he has too many platelets circulating in his bloodstream.
Santos et al., (2008) studied platelets size in humans with vascular disease and found 8.7 μm 3 (± 0.5) as reference value to MVP. In healthy dogs Yilamaz et al. (2008), found the value of 9.3 ± 0.5, while Waner et al, (1997) found a variation between groups of 9 to 11.1 μ 3 to healthy dogs. Platelet media counts was 249,000 x 10 3 / mm 3 ...
Normal platelet counts: Dog – 200-500 x 109/L. Cat – 300-800 x 109/L. Thrombocytopaenia: less than 200 x 109/L. Severe thrombocytopaenia: 50 x 109/L. Presentation. Patients commonly present with acute-onset lethargy and general malaise. They may have petechiae (pinpoint haemorrhages) of the skin or mucous membranes. Haematomas and.
