Quantitative and functional analysis of cats haemograms at accidental soft tissues purulent-inflammatory processes

P. A. Rudenko

The article presents data on the quantitative and functional hematological changes in cats at random purulent-inflammatory processes in soft tissues. It is shown that random-purulent inflammatory processes cause in cats blood - leukocytosis, increased ESR and nuclear neutrophils on the background of oligohromemia, erythropenia, reduced polymorphonuclear neutrophils and lymphocytes, which, depending on the severity of purulent inflammation are deeper and reach their maximum in the group of animals with sepsis that shows the greatest degree of reduction of the organism resistance and increase the endogenous intoxication in this group of animals. In functional analysis, hemogram revealed that there is an increase of NPC and FRI in cats. These changes may serve as marker of the pathological process severity and the level of endogenous organism intoxication.
