The hematologic values were examined from 74 healthy mixed breed dogs in the area of Seoul. The results obtained are summarized as follows;
1. Mean±SD values and ranges of red blood cell(RBC) count were 6.16±0.92×10^6/㎕ and 4.40∼8.62×10^6/㎕, of hemoglobin(Hb) content 14.90±2.042g/100㎖ and 8.7∼19.2g/100㎖, of packed cell volume(PCV) 45.47±6.16㎖/100㎖ and 30∼57㎖/100㎖, of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 74.80±6.83fl and 54.08∼90.90fl, of mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) 24.41± 3.91pg and 14.19∼32.97pg, of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) 32.07±3.24g/100㎖ and 22.23∼39.76g/100㎖, respectively.
2. The RBC count value in the age group of 3∼4 years was higher (p<0.05) than the total RBC count value. The Hb content value in the age group of less than 6 months was lower (p<0.01) but in the age group of 1∼2 years and the age group of 3∼4 years were higher (p<0.05, p<0.01) than the total Hb content value. The PCV value in the age group of less than 6 months was lower (p<0.05) than the total PCV value. The MCHC values in the age group of 1∼2 years and the age group of 3∼4 years were higher (p<0.01, p<0.05) than the total MCHC value.
3. Mean±SD values and ranges of white blood cell (WBC) count were 11.26±3.05×10³/㎕ and 6.30∼18.4×10³/㎕, of band neutrophil 2.97±1.44% and 1∼10%, of segmented neutrophil 62.81±4.92% and 42∼70, of lymphocyte 30.55±5.69% and 17∼50%, of monocyte 2.49±0.84% and 1∼5%, of eosinophil 1.81±1.175 and 1∼8%, respectively.
4. The WBC count value in the age group of 7∼12 months was lower (p<0.05) but in the age group of 3∼4 years was higher (p<0.05) than the total WBC count value. The band neutrophil values in the age group of 1∼2 years and the age group of 3∼4 years were higher (p<0.05, p<0.01) than the total band neutrophil value.
