Veterinary Case Studies D-7
D.2.5 Dog: Stress Leukogram
When dogs are stressed before the sample draw, they often show an increase in total WBC count, with
an elevated NEU count and a decreased LYM count. Dogs that are stressed but otherwise healthy dis-
play results similar to those shown below.
These histograms indicate the following:

WBC — Very high total leukocyte count, with a pronouncedly shrunken LYM peak and
an elevated NEU with suppressed EOS.

RBC — Normal.

PLT — PLT count is normal for this sample.
