Pet guinea pigs are presented to veterinary clinics for routine care and treatment of clinical diseases. In addition to obtaining clinical history and exam findings, diagnostic testing may be required, including hematological assessments. This article describes common blood collection methods, including venipuncture sites, the volume of blood that can be safely collected, and handling of the blood. Hematological parameters for normal guinea pigs are provided for comparison with in-house or commercial test results. A description of the morphology of guinea pig leukocytes is provided to assist in performing a differential count.
宠物豚鼠会被送到兽医诊所进行常规护理和临床疾病治疗。除了获取临床病史和检查结果外,可能还需要进行诊断测试,包括血液学评估。本文介绍了常见的采血方法,包括静脉穿刺部位、可安全采集的血量以及血液处理。还提供了正常豚鼠的血液学参数,以便与内部或商业测试结果进行比较。同时提供了豚鼠白细胞形态的描述,以协助进行分类计数。
