Hematologic values of healthy cats were established and their variations according age and sex were studied. In 20 cats (9 males and 11 females) 3 months-old to 6 years-old, the values obtained were the following, expressed by mean and standard deviation:
Erythrocytes (million/cu mm) .......... 6,5± 1,5
Hemoglobin (gm/100cc) ................. 12,0± 3,2
P.C.V. ( cc/100cc) .......................... 28,7± 5,5
M.C.V. (cu µ ) ................................ 45,3± 7,2
M.C.H. ( µ µ gm )............................ 18,7± 9,2
Leucocytes (thousand/cu mm) .......... 10,8 ± 3,0
% absolute number
— band neutrophil ............. 2,4 ± 2,2 272± 301
— neutrophil ..................... 53,3±11,4 5829±2415
— total neutrophil .............. 55,7±11,6 6102±2506
— eosinophil...................... 4,7± 3,4 488± 416
— lymphocyte .................... 38,3±12,9 4019±1693
— monocyte ....................... 1,8± 1,6 266± 264
