Some morphologic aspects of healthy cats erythrocytes were studied. In 20 cats, the values obtained were the following, expressed by mean and standard deviation:
Red blood cells diameter (µ) .................................................................................... 5,58 ±0,23
Mean corpuscular thickness (µ) ............................................................................... 1,81 ±0,23
Reticulocytes (%) ...................................................................................................... 0,02 ± 0,01
Reticulocytes (thousand/cu mm)................................................................................. 0,15 ±0,07
Red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (%) ............................................... 0,1 7 ± 0,08
Red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (thousand /cu mm) ........................ 1,24 +0,69
Diameter of red blood cells containing Howell-Jolly bodies (µ) ................................5,43 ± 0,35
Howell-Jolly bodies diameter (µ) ............................................................................. 0,87 ± 0,1 6
The Price-Jones curve demonstrated that there is a light anisocythosis in cat peripheral blood. The minimum and maximum osmotic fragility to hipotonic saline were observed, respectively at 0,76% and 0,52%.
