Blood samples were taken from 23 swift foxes (Vulpes velox) which were to be used in a reintroduction program. The foxes originated from two different captive breeding programs: one at the Calgary Zoo (CZ) and one at the Wildlife Reserve of Western Canada (WRWC). Several differences between swift fox and domestic canine hematology were seen, including an increased number of smaller red blood cells and lower absolute leukocyte counts in swift foxes. Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase was higher than in the domestic canine normal range while serum creatinine values were lower. Hemoglobin, serum potassium, total protein, globulin in the two groups (CZ and WRWC) were statistically different as were male versus female mean corpuscular volume values.
从23只用于重新引入计划的草原狐(Vulpes velox)身上采集了血样。这些狐狸来自两个不同的圈养繁殖项目:一个在卡尔加里动物园(CZ),另一个在加拿大西部野生动物保护区(WRWC)。草原狐与家犬血液学存在一些差异,包括草原狐的小红细胞数量增加和绝对白细胞计数较低。血清谷丙转氨酶高于家犬正常范围,而血清肌酐值较低。两组(CZ和WRWC)的血红蛋白、血清钾、总蛋白、球蛋白以及雄性与雌性平均红细胞体积值均存在统计学差异。
