CBC (Complete Blood Count) explained
The CBC is the most basic screening: red cells, white cells and platelets reveal infection, anemia, inflammation and clotting. Don't panic at single arrows — vets read patterns and trends.
🧾 Avant l'examen
- ✓Usually no fasting needed (fast if drawn together with chemistry)
- ✓Avoid strenuous exercise before the draw
- ✓Mention any medications
📊 Lire les valeurs clés
| Rechercher | Haut | Bas |
|---|---|---|
| WBC (white cells) | Infection, inflammation or stress (common in stressed cats) | Late viral infection, bone-marrow issues — read with the differential |
| Neutrophils | Bacterial infection, inflammation | Severe consumption, drug effects |
| Lymphocytes | Excitement/stress (cats), chronic infection | Chronic stress, steroids |
| RBC / Hemoglobin | Relative rise from dehydration | Anemia: bleeding, hemolysis or poor production — find the cause |
| Hematocrit (HCT) | Dehydration | Main anemia gauge (cats below 20% is severe) |
| Platelets | Reactive increase | Bleeding risk, immune thrombocytopenia, or clumping artifact |
| Eosinophils | Parasites, allergy | Stress, steroids |
💡 Comment l'interpréter A single mild outlier in a well pet is usually re-checked in 2-4 weeks for trend; multiple abnormal values or large deviations need deeper work-up.

Questions fréquentes
Does the blood draw hurt?
Similar to human blood draws — from a front leg or the neck, after a small clip. Most pets need only gentle restraint.
Does cat stress skew results?
Yes — stress raises glucose and WBC in cats. Vets cross-check multiple values and may re-test.
