  • Title: Hematological Assessment in Pet Rabbits: Blood Sample Collection and Blood Cell Identification.
    Author: Moore DM, Zimmerman K, Smith SA.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 2015 Sep; 35(3):617-27. PubMed ID: 26297408.
    Abstract:
    Pet rabbits are presented to veterinary clinics for routine care and treatment of clinical diseases. In addition to obtaining clinical history, additional diagnostic testing may be required, including hematological assessments. This article describes common blood collection methods, including venipuncture sites, volume of blood that can be safely collected, and handling of the blood. Hematological parameters for normal rabbits are provided for comparison with in-house or commercial test results. A description of the morphology of rabbit leukocytes is provided to assist in performing a differential count. Differential diagnoses are provided for abnormal values identified in the hemogram.
