Feline cardiac workups
don’t need to be complicated
NEW
Introducing the new
IDEXX SNAP® Feline Cardiopet® proBNP Test
“I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the SNAP® Feline Cardiopet® proBNP test when used in cats
presented with dyspnoea. We have used the test in conjunction with a full specialists cardiorespiratory workup in
several cats and the SNAP® test has always correctly uncovered the cause of dyspnoea (as either primary
cardiac or primary respiratory).
This has helped me with my therapy recommendations when deciding to postpone or recommend
echocardiograms, as well as when to use oxygen and frusemide therapy.
This SNAP test will be a winner in any general
veterinary practice or hospital.”

Interpreted profiles include a pathologist’s written consideration of the results in light of the provided
history and clinical signs as well as a phone discussion of the case if required. Significant cost savings
are realised when interpretation is ordered at the time of sample submission.
A pathologists interpretation and recommendations for further testing can be requested for all IDEXX
In-Clinic Analyser results free of charge. (Use test code IIC to request this service)
Uninterpreted profiles do not include the pathologist’s interpretation. However, the profile can be
upgraded to include a written report of the case if required. (Use Test code HPI $53.70 ex GST)
Blood Film Interpretation – All non interpreted profiles include a standard CBC. At any time a standard
CBC can be upgraded to a Comprehensive CBC (use test code BFI $15.70 ex GST). A Comprehensive
CBC is recommended in all patients presenting as clinically unwell.
* A Standard CBC does not include a manual film review. A blood film review may be added to a Standard CBC (Use Code BFI).
A Comprehensive CBC is recommended if history and clinical signs suggest any condition commonly associated with haematological changes.

IDEXX RealPCR™ Q&A’s
When is PCR testing indicated?
PCR testing should typically be reserved as a diagnostic tool for sick animals to confirm or rule out the presence of infectious agents.
PCR can detect the actual presence of the pathogen before antibody response occurs, making it extremely valuable for early detection.
What is PCR?
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular technique that exponentially amplifies a specific region of DNA. The large number of copies of DNA
produced permits detection of infectious agents in specimens.
What is an IDEXX RealPCR™ test? How is it different from conventional PCR?
IDEXX RealPCR tests are run by real-time PCR. Real-time PCR is faster and more sensitive and utilises a closed-tube system that virtually eliminates
contamination and false positives – a problem with conventional PCR. Real-time PCR also allows for testing for multiple pathogens on a single
specimen and enables not only detection of pathogens but also quantification of the amount of genetic material in a specimen.
What additional steps are taken to prevent contamination and ensure accurate results?
IDEXX’s molecular diagnostic laboratories are dedicated units separate from other testing areas. They offer maximum security through
separation, air pressure differences and a QA/QC management system to control the PCR process, specimen integrity and facility safety.
What does a positive PCR result mean?
A positive PCR result indicates that the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) of that organism was detected in the specimen submitted, indicating infection
with the organism. A positive result should always be interpreted in light of the clinical signs of illness to determine clinical significance and
whether treatment is indicated.
What does a negative PCR result mean?
A negative PCR result indicates that the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) of that organism was not detected in the specimen submitted, which suggests
that the animal’s disease is not caused by the organism. However, a negative PCR result may be caused by the numbers of organisms being
below the limit of detection of the PCR assay, decreased numbers of organisms following treatment, a chronic carrier state, or the occurrence of a
new strain not detected by the PCR assay.
Does PCR differentiate between vaccination and infection?
IDEXX RealPCR™
For inactivated vaccines, PCR does differentiate between vaccination and infection. In general, PCR does not pick up the DNA component of inactivated
vaccines administered systemically. For modified live vaccines, PCR may detect viral DNA/RNA for a few weeks after vaccination while the vaccine
virus is replicating. Quantification of viral DNA/RNA in the specimen by real-time PCR may be used for some pathogens (e.g., distemper virus) to
distinguish between vaccination and wild-type infection.
What are IDEXX Quant RealPCR™ tests?
IDEXX Quant RealPCR tests utilize the quantitative results that real-time PCR provides to give additional information to help interpret positive PCR
results for certain pathogens. For example, the Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) Quant RealPCR™ Test can be used to determine if a positive
PCR result is likely a result of recent vaccination or from wild-type infection. The Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE and CPEA) Gene Quant
RealPCR™ tests can be used to help decide whether the enterotoxins are likely contributing to diarrhoea. Additional Quant RealPCR tests are under
development.
Should other diagnostic tests be performed in conjunction with PCR testing?
As with other diagnostic testing, PCR should not be used in isolation. The clinical signs of the patient and additional diagnostic testing should
be considered when appropriate. In fact, several of our PCR panels include serology, for example, Tick RealPCR™ Panel includes Lyme Quant C6.

Real-Time PCR
The real-time detection mode is made possible
by using fluorescent tags built into the real-time
PCR tests. Based on the real-time detection, quantitative
information is readily available for downstream use. This feature
has been used to develop quantitative PCR tests, which provide
additional clinical information.
Two Step Process
PCR is a process composed of two steps: DNA or RNA extraction
followed by the real-time PCR reaction. Techniques used during the
nucleic acid extraction allows us to achieve high consistency and
yields, minimises errors and speeds up the process. Because of the
first step in our process, diagnostic specimens are ready for PCR
in less than 2 hours.
Highly affordable and fast real-time PCR testing
Our state-of-the-art real-time PCR equipment allows testing of large
numbers of specimens within a very short time. Turnaround time of
a PCR specimen (nucleic acid extraction and testing) once received
at the PCR laboratory is less than 5 hours.
IDEXX RealPCR™ Specimen Collection Guidelines
PCR testing offers a versatile testing modality for infectious diseases.
However, accurate results depend on collecting the appropriate
specimen type for the clinical manifestation. Provided below are detailed
protocols for each sample type.
All specimens should be stored and shipped refrigerated, unless
otherwise indicated. Specimens should be collected prior to antibiotic,
antifungal or antiviral treatment directed against the organism of interest,
or collected at least 2 weeks after withdrawal of these medications.
Specimens received within 72 hours of collection are preferred, but most
specimens are stable for up to 10 days if stored refrigerated, unless
otherwise indicated. Vaccination with an attenuated or modified live
vaccine may result in positive PCR test results for up to a few weeks
postvaccination.
Every RealPCR™ specimen submission is processed with up to 7 quality
controls. If a specimen fails the preanalytical quality control (DNA and
RNA), a repeat extraction is attempted If quality control criteria are still
not met for a particular diagnostic specimen, the submitting veterinarian
will be contacted and encouraged to submit a fresh specimen at no
additional charge.
Whole Blood: 2 mL (0.1 mL minimum) EDTA whole blood (LTT).
Faeces: 5 g (1 g minimum) fresh faeces in a sterile container (preferred)
or empty, clean container.
Urine: 2 mL (0.1 mL minimum) urine in a sterile container.
Fluid (CSF, pleural effusion, respiratory wash specimens, uveal fluid,
ascites, abscess aspirates, etc.): 0.5mL (0.1mL minimum) fluid in
a sterile tube (LTT [preferred], RTT or plastic tube).
Swabs: Submit dry, plastic-stemmed swabs, without transport media, in
an RTT or in a empty, sterile tube. Respiratory specimens may include
a deep pharyngeal swab (with visible organic material on swab; please
rub firmly), and a conjunctival swab (wipe eye clean; swab inside of
eyelid), which can be submitted together in the same tube, or a nasal
swab (equine respiratory panels or systemic mycoses). When acquiring
a pharyngeal swab, precautions should be taken to prevent patient
from biting and/or ingesting part of swab. Collect specimens prior to
fluorescein staining.
Tissue Aspirates: Submitting tissue aspirates on a swab (see below)
improves stability of the specimen. 1–3 air-dried, unstained slides (keep
refrigerated) are also acceptable specimens but may result in lower
sensitivity.
Suggested Protocol for Tissue Aspirates:
1. Aspirate tissue into the hub of the needle using standard
techniques.
2. Remove the syringe from the needle and fill syringe with air.
3. Reattach the syringe to the needle and squirt out aspirate
onto the end of a dry, plastic-stemmed swab.
4. Submit the swab in an RTT or an empty, sterile tube;
keep refrigerated.
Tissue Biopsies: PCR testing can be performed on previously submitted
histopathology specimens (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue).
Fresh, refrigerated tissue specimens submitted within 24 hours of
collection are also acceptable. Freezing is not recommended unless the
specimen can be maintained frozen
until arrival at the PCR laboratory.
PLEASE NOTE – Wooden stemmed Swabs are not
recommended for PCR tests submitted to the laboratory.
Plastic Stemmed swabs are preferred.
IMPORTANT – When submitting samples for PCR and
other tests, a separate sample must be submitted for
PCR. This ensures there is no cross contamination which
could occur when breaching one sample multiple times.

Kidney / Liver Disease
Canine and Feline
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of worldwide significance that most
commonly causes acute kidney disease in dogs with or without evidence
of hepatitis, but other clinical manifestations of disease are becoming
increasingly recognised.
Consider testing dogs with:
The diagnostic advantage of PCR over serology occurs during the very
early stages of the infection prior to the development of antibodies in
most dogs and for the detection of urinary shedding in sick and healthy
animals. PCR on blood specimens will be positive very early in infection,
usually prior to seroconversion. Urine will become positive by PCR 7–14
days after infection, at which time, leptospires may or may not be
detected in the blood. In a study of dogs experimentally infected with
Leptospira pomona, the highest diagnostic sensitivity (92%) was seen
when testing was performed on both urine and blood.1

• Chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology
Also consider testing dogs that could be shedding leptospires
in their urine, including:
• Dogs after treatment; previously tested positive by PCR or MAT
• Dogs in the same household/environment as an infected dog
• High-risk dogs (e.g., hunting dogs, dogs in contact with

IDEXX Quality Starts
with Quality Samples
The quality and accuracy of results are very important to everyone at IDEXX
IDEXX Tips for obtaining high quality samples:
Choose the correct sample and container
Read the collection guidelines in either this section of the Directory
of Products and Services or in the Selected Test Protocol booklet
(call 1300 44 33 99 if you do not have a copy) before taking a sample.
Improper choice of a collection vial can adversely affect results.
Did You Know? Using a serum separator tube (SST) is an easy way to
collect a good serum sample for chemistry panels. However, for certain
specialised tests, such as many endocrinology and drug tests, the gel
in SSTs can interfere with results.
Did You Know? Whole blood EDTA samples start to degrade as soon
as the blood is outside of the animal.
To preserve cell morphology, include air-dried, unstained blood slides
along with the purple top tube. Slides should also be included with
samples submitted for fluid analysis for accurate cytologic interpretation.
Blood smears made at the time of blood collection help avoid platelet
clumping problems and allows more accurate platelet interpretation.
Did You Know? Including slides with your CBCs can aid in pathologist
reviews of unusual cells, and with the identification of red blood
cell parasites.
Samples clotted during blood draw
may result in…
• Platelet clumps
• Falsely decreased cell counts
(platelets, red blood cells and
white blood cells)
• Haemolysis
(when forcing blood into tube)
Excess anticoagulant
(under-filled tube) may result in…
• Decreased RBC count and
HCT due to dilution
• Altered cell morphology
• Inaccurate MCV, MCH, MCHC
and HGB
• Falsely prolonged clotting times
EDTA contamination may cause…
• Falsely decreased calcium
• Falsely increased potassium
• Interference with many
specialised tests
Use proper techniques
Filling syringes: When filling syringes, aim for a good free flowing stick
from the largest accessible vein. Slow draws and difficult sticks can
rupture red cells, adversely affecting CBC results and certain chemistries. The longer the blood stays in the syringe,
the greater the risk of clumped platelets and clots that degrade test results.
Specimen Collection
Guidelines
Filling vacutainer tubes: If the blood clots in the syringe, do not force it into the vacutainer tubes. Forcing clotted
blood into vacutainers will result in lysed red blood cells and cause inaccurate results. Always fill the tubes without
additives first. This prevents carry-over of tube additives. For example, if you are filling an EDTA tube and a serum
separator tube, always fill the SST first. Even a small amount of EDTA can interfere with many chemistry results. Fill
purple top (EDTA) or blue top (citrate) tubes precisely. Overfilling and under-filling tubes causes the wrong ratio of
additives. Excess EDTA in an under-filled tube will give inaccurate CBC results. Overfilling the EDTA tube may cause
the sample to clot. To ensure the correct volume of blood, allow the vacuum of the tube to pull the blood out of the
syringe without additional force.
Centrifuging: Make sure samples are fully clotted before tubes are centrifuged.
Note that some samples may take longer to clot than others.
Did You Know? In tests that require serum, it is important to collect and centrifuge the sample properly. If a tube is
spun too soon after drawing the blood, you will send plasma to the laboratory and not serum.
If you have any questions regarding submission of specimens or if you require appropriate stores
supplies please call us on 1300 44 33 99.

Cytology
ACCURATE RESULTS DEPEND ON QUALITY SPECIMENS. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
Perform sampling by fine-needle aspiration or non-aspiration biopsy, scrapings or imprints.
Prepare slides in-clinic using either a “squash” preparation or blood-smear technique.
Call if you have questions about slide preparation.
Stain at least one representative slide to ensure adequate cell density and preservation.
Please DO NOT submit syringes with needles.
Patient history and clinical findings contribute to an accurate result.
On containers and slides, please write:
Patient’s name
Site/Source
On the requisition form, include:
Patient signalment (owner's name, patient's name, age, sex, species, breed, etc.)
Reference to any previous laboratory results (CBC, biochemistry profile,
prior cytology/histology or serology) be sure to include our laboratory
reference numbers
Gross lesion description
Specific anatomic location (e.g., cutaneous, subcutaneous, deep tissue,
intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal)
Size, shape, consistency, symmetry, definition of borders
Clinical history – duration of lesion, progression of lesion, treatment and response to therapy
Radiographic and ultrasonographic findings
Did You Know? If you have specific questions you would like answered, you can put these on the requisition form.
When submitting aspirates and impressions:
Submit one to three air-dried slides, preferably at least one unstained slide
Store at room temperature and protect from temperature extremes
Protect from moisture and insects
DO NOT spray with hairspray or other fixatives
DO NOT expose to formalin fumes
DO NOT ship slides for cytology in the same bag as a formalin-containing biopsy jar.
When submitting fluids and washes:
Enclose unaltered fluid in a Plain Tube (yellow-topped tube), EDTA Tube (purple-topped tube),
along with air-dried slides.
Prepare slides immediately to preserve cytomorphology (most fluids are stable for only a few hours at
room temperature).
Fluid in EDTA tube with slides is the recommended specimen for cytologic evaluation, especially of cellular
or bloody specimens. If a culture is required, submit additional fluid in a sterile yellow top container.
DO NOT submit fluids in a red topped tube (SST), in a syringe, or as cover-slipped and wet preparations.
Submission of fluid in a SST (red topped tube) can interfere with accurate cytologic evaluation due to the
presence of clotting activators.

IDEXX Specimen Collection Guidelines
Histopathology
ACCURATE RESULTS DEPEND ON QUALITY SPECIMENS. PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:
Histopathology tiers and price guidelines
IDEXX operates a tiered histopathology pricing structure. All samples are manually assessed to provide you
confidence in your results every time.
If you are unsure of how to code (or charge), your sample please call 1300 44 33 99 and ask to talk to the
pathologist on duty to discuss your case. This will ensure a clear understanding of your needs, and will help you to
select the correct samples for histopathological examination, as well as identify any need for samples for other
testing (e.g. bacteriology, virology, serology, toxicology). Alternatively you may consult page 32 of this DOPS.
Turnaround Time
Most evaluations will be completed within 24-72 hours of receipt in our laboratory (unless otherwise indicated).
Additional fixation or decalcification will take longer. We will notify you if an unusually long delay is anticipated.
Collection Technique
Samples are collected for histological examination by standard surgical techniques or at postmortem examination.
Labelling Criteria
Please ensure all specimen jars are labelled with
Patients name, date
Type of specimen, (Site / Source)
Requisition Information
A thorough clinical history and details of the physical examination are essential for the correct histological
interpretation of tissue changes. Information required includes signalment (species, breed, age, sex), a description
of the appearance and distribution of lesions, duration of the condition, biopsy sites or post mortem tissue,
response to prior treatments, current treatment regimens and any other relevant information.
You may include any questions to be answered on your requisition form.
Please send radiographs of bone lesions when they are being submitted for histological examination
(see histopathology – bone).
Fixation Guidelines
Tissue samples should be fixed in 10% buffered formalin.
Did You Know? The 10:10:10 Rule? For optimum fixation and sectioning use 10% formalin; 10:1 ratio; and a biopsy
size 10mm cubed
Place specimens in a wide necked container (approved for use with formalin), with the ratio of formalin to tissue > 10:1.
Submit entire lesions and tumours with adjacent excise tissue.
For rapid fixation of larger lesions and tumours, cut a section 0.5-1cm wide through the centre of
the specimen. Make impression smears from the cut surface of tumours and submit for cytology in a separate bag.
Open hollow organs, such as intestine, prior to placing them in fixative.
Small fragile specimens (bone marrow, Tru-cut liver or kidney) can be wrapped in a gauze envelope so that they
do not disintegrate during transport.
High priority samples can be dispatched on the day of collection as they will fix on their way to the laboratory.
Samples of lower priority can be fixed for 24 hours at clinic prior to dispatch to the laboratory.
88
Histopathology
Microbiology
Transport Guidelines
All samples should be placed in a well sealed leak proof bag
containing enough absorbent material for the volume of formalin.
Fixed tissue which is to be mailed may be placed in a leak proof
plastic bag or container with a formalin soaked gauze to keep
the tissue moist. (ensure adequate fixation has occurred prior
to transportation)
Histopathology Fee Policies
Fees are determined by number of sites, lesions or organs
indicated on the requisition form.
For ‘Single Tissue’ biopsies prices are quoted per
anatomical site.
If the number of sites/lesions is not indicated, we will
assume each specimen is from a different site, and
will charge separately.
Surgical margin analysis does not attract an additional fee.
Cancellation Fee
No fee is applied if cancellation is requested prior
to processing. If we have started processing
the sample, a fee of $31 Ex GST will be
charged to cover costs incurred.
Necropsy Samples
IDEXX no longer offers in-laboratory
necropsy service, but there are
a variety of options for submitting
necropsy samples. (Please call
customer service for a list of other
laboratories offering this service).
Normal Flora, Predictable
Susceptibility Patterns and
Non-pathogenic Organisms
IDEXX follows guidelines set by
NATA, combined with our years
of experience in performing
susceptibility testing.
We believe these are “best
practice” microbiology
techniques, and would be
happy to discuss the following
policies with you.
Sterile Tubes
Use glass or plastic tubes
with no additives. Plastic
yellow-topped tubes with clot
activator are not acceptable
for cultures because clot
activator binds bacteria,
which inhibits growth.
Fluids, urine and tissue
can be submitted in sterile
containers (moisten tissue
with sterile saline or water
to prevent drying and loss
of viability).
Fluids
Additional Notes
Margins are complimentary if requested.
Cage Birds include budgerigars, pigeons,
finches and small birds from zoological gardens
or fauna parks.
Large birds from zoological gardens or fauna parks such
as waterfowl, poultry, ostriches or emus are not considered
cage birds.
IDEXX Histopathology Reports contain the following report
sections: Gross Pathology, Histopathology, Diagnosis,
Comments and Margin Analysis.
If a specific pathologist is requested, we will do our best to meet
your request. If the specified pathologist is unavailable, we will
contact you to give you the option of waiting or having another
pathologist read the case to prevent any delay in processing.
Make sure all collection devices
containing fluids are sealed
and leak proof before submitting.
Note: Specimens that are
>48 hours old are not suitable
for culture, and loss of viability
should be expected.
Blood Culture
Aerobic and anaerobic cultures
are performed on all blood
cultures. A preliminary report
is available within 24-48 hrs.
Please DO NOT submit
syringes with needles.

Avian and Exotic
Blood samples should be collected aseptically from veins, most commonly the jugular vein in
companion birds. Ulnar veins or tibiotarsal veins can be used in some species. Nail clipping is
NOT a suitable method for collecting blood samples.
Biochemistry Only
Submit sample in lithium heparin tubes (green top). Gel separator tubes can be used. Gel tubes can be spun
before submission, and this will reduce storage artefacts.
Plain serum tubes can also be used, but result in a smaller sample for analysis, and may reduce the number
of measurements that can be performed.
Small sample volume may limit the number of biochemistry tests that can be performed. If submitting a small
sample, please note your required tests in order of preference on the submission form.
Haematology Only
Submit slide(s) and whole blood.
Make slides immediately after collection, using blood that has not been exposed to anticoagulant. Preferably
make two slides, one by the usual slide-and-slide method, one by a coverslip-and-slide method. Air dry slides
immediately, but do not fix or stain.
Submit the whole blood in lithium heparin. Gel separator tubes can be used but must NOT be spun down.
EDTA can also be used for most birds (excluding ratites, crows and ravens), but is not the preferred sample.
EDTA should not be used for reptile blood, use of lithium heparin is recommended.
Haematology and Biochemistry Required
Submit blood films (see haematology above) and blood in lithium heparin. Do NOT spin gel separator lithium
heparin tubes if only a single tube is submitted. At least one unspun lithium heparin tube must be submitted.
Small sample sizes may limit the number of biochemistry tests that can be performed. If submitting a small
sample, please note your required tests in order of preference on the submission form.

CBC’s Interpretive options and Reticulocyte
counts, what you need to know
Interpreted profiles
IDEXX offers a broad range of interpreted and un-interpreted profiles to support
your daily diagnostic needs.
All interpreted profiles contain a comprehensive CBC including a scientist blood
film review and interpretation of the haematology findings by a pathologist.
The blood film examination ensures detection of subtle inflammatory disease
(i.e. neutrophil left shifting and toxic change), red cell morphology changes
(e.g. schistocytes, acanthocytes), platelet abnormalities (e.g. macroplatelets),
and rare atypical cells (e.g. immature lymphocytes, mast cells) that are clinically
relevant in ill patients. The pathologist interpretation is valuable for interpretation
of the significance of these findings in relation to the clinical presentation and for
suggestions as to the next diagnostic steps.
Un-Interpreted Profiles
IDEXX un-interpreted profiles include profiles designed both
for health screening and preventative testing as well as cost
effective options targeting specific disease presentations,
where the referring veterinarian prefers to interpret the pathology.
Un-interpreted profiles include a standard CBC which may
be upgraded to a comprehensive CBC by the addition of
a BFI (blood film interpretation). This would be recommended
in all patients who are clinically unwell.
The total annual health profile (TAHP/TAHPC) is our
recommended profile for health screening and preventative
testing in clinically well patients. These patients often have
minimal abnormalities expected in their haematology and
biochemical data. In this scenario, the standard CBC offers
good screening information, and over time the combined CBC
and biochemical results from each patient build a database,
or “baseline” that can be used for early detection of clinically
significant abnormalities that may not yet fall outside
population reference intervals.
Example of the benefits of baseline monitoring
Two examples of this would be a slowly dropping haematocrit as a sign of chronic / inflammatory disease,
or a mild but progressive elevation in creatinine, an indicator of decreasing renal function. The database
in health can also be used for comparison when the patient becomes unwell to help identify clinically significant
abnormalities. For example recognition that a stable, marginally elevated ALP in an older dog that then becomes
unwell is unlikely to be clinically significant as the cause for the presenting illness.
94
Dr Karen Jackson
Specialist Clinical Pathologist
Dr Graham Swinney
Specialist Canine Medicine
If unexpected changes are identified in the standard CBC or biochemistry
of the TAHP/TAHPC, the profile can be upgraded by adding a BFI code
to receive a scientist blood film review with morphological comments,
and interpretation of the haematology findings by a pathologist.
If interpretation of the biochemistry results is also required then the HPI
code can be added for full interpretation.
Here for a regular
health check?
IDEXX has many uninterpreted profiles which are often targeted to patients
with specific disease entities (e.g. pancreatitis, cardiac disease) and for
patients that are clinically unwell. In this situation the blood film may hold
clues as to the nature of the patient’s illness, and thus we recommend
adding the BFI code at the time of submission ensuring scientist blood
film review and pathologist interpretation of the haematology findings.

What about Reticulocytes?
A reticulocyte count is included in all IDEXX haematological
profiles and only IDEXX in house haematology analysers
provide an absolute reticulocyte count in clinic.
Traditionally reticulocytes were assumed to be important in the
assessment of anaemic animals to help determine whether the
anaemia was regenerative or nonregenerative. Clearly this is
an important determination. However, reticulocytes are also
very useful in the assessment of many physiological and
pathological conditions which may not manifest as clinical
anaemia. Animals may not be actually anaemic when
compared to population reference intervals and yet an
elevated reticulocyte count may alert the clinician to look
for underlying haemolytic (e.g. immune-mediated, oxidative,
infectious, neoplastic, or toxic) or haemorrhagic (e.g. GI
ulceration, neoplastic, coagulopathic, parasitic) processes.
In these diseases the patient is losing red blood cell mass but the
bone marrow response is sufficient to keep parameters such as red
blood cell count, haemoglobin and haematocrit within the population
reference intervals (i.e. compensated RBC loss/destruction). The clue that there is a problem is the absolute
reticulocyte count. Furthermore, reticulocytes can alert the clinician to the presence of other less common
conditions such as an absolute erythrocytosis due to chronic hypoxia, EPO-producing neoplasms, and
polycythaemia vera. Reticulocytes are a crucial part of any haematological profile.

Good news! We have screened Motor Mouse's blood for common conditions, and your pet's organ
systems appear to be functioning normally. This preventive care testing is very important for us to
spot potential health issues before Motor Mouse shows symptoms, and to obtain a baseline of blood
values while your pet is healthy. Keep up the good work!
Monitoring for potential health problems
This preventive care testing has added to our understanding of what is normal for your best friend, establishing a baseline that we will
compare to in the future. When you bring your pet back for testing each year, we will track subtle changes more effectively. This
improves our ability to detect disease in your pet even when values are normal, or before any outward signs of illness can be seen. By
spotting problems at the earliest possible stage, we may prevent or treat disease with greater success. The more data we have, the
better we can support you in providing your pet with a long, healthy and happy life!
