rithms as Dog, Cat and Horse, respectively; users may edit these
profiles with customized reference intervals for other species
similar to dogs, cats or horses. They may also be used for
younger pets, such as puppies, kittens or foals or geriatric popu-
lations. These customized reference ranges must be provided by
the user.
