Hematologic and serum chemistry values were determined for 25 free-ranging Florida panther (Puma concolor couguar) neonates from southern Florida sampled from January 2001 to April 2007. The kittens were < or = 25 days old, belonging to 12 litters, from 11 different dams. Forty-one blood samples also were collected from 32 free-ranging adult panthers (3-10 yr-old) from southern Florida from November 2000 to February 2007. Male kittens had higher hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), and red blood cell (RBC) counts than did female kittens. Neonates had higher mean serum values of total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, triglycerides, and magnesium than adult panthers but lower mean values of urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, sodium, chloride, creatine kinase, amylase, and total globulin. Neonates also had higher mean values of mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, platelets, and the number of lymphocytes and monocytes but lower Hb, HCT, white blood cell count, RBC count, and neutrophils than adult panthers. No other significant differences in serum chemistry or hematology were noted between neonates and adults.
对2001年1月至2007年4月间从佛罗里达州南部采集的25只佛罗里达美洲狮（美洲狮佛罗里达亚种）新生幼崽的血液学和血清化学值进行了测定。这些幼崽年龄小于或等于25天，分属于11只不同母狮的12窝幼崽。还从2000年11月至2007年2月间从佛罗里达州南部采集的32只成年美洲狮（3至10岁）身上收集了41份血样。雄性幼崽的血红蛋白（Hb）、血细胞比容（HCT）和红细胞（RBC）计数高于雌性幼崽。新生幼崽的总胆红素、碱性磷酸酶、胆固醇、钙、磷、甘油三酯和镁的平均血清值高于成年美洲狮，但尿素氮、肌酐、总蛋白、白蛋白、丙氨酸转氨酶、天冬氨酸转氨酶、钠、氯、肌酸激酶、淀粉酶和总球蛋白的平均值较低。新生幼崽的平均细胞体积、平均细胞血红蛋白、平均细胞血红蛋白浓度、血小板以及淋巴细胞和单核细胞数量的平均值也高于成年美洲狮，但Hb、HCT、白细胞计数、RBC计数和中性粒细胞低于成年美洲狮。在新生幼崽和成年美洲狮之间未发现血清化学或血液学的其他显著差异。
