Blood Smear Author : Dr Pierre Hébert |
A 9 year-old female German Shepherd was presented for a tense and pendulous abdomen. The blood smear (1000X original magnification) revealed a normocytic-normochromic regenerative anemia with schizocytes and acanthocytes present. These red cell morphologic abnormalities suggest a microangiopathic disorder (DIC, hemangiosarcoma). |
