    Author: Lindstrom NM, Moore DM, Zimmerman K, Smith SA.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 2015 Sep; 35(3):629-40. PubMed ID: 26297409.
    Abstract:
    Hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice are presented to veterinary clinics and hospitals for prophylactic care and treatment of clinical signs of disease. Physical examination, history, and husbandry practice information can be supplemented greatly by assessment of hematologic parameters. As a resource for veterinarians and their technicians, this article describes the methods for collection of blood, identification of blood cells, and interpretation of the hemogram in mice, rats, gerbils, and hamsters.
