How to perform a CBC in a dog or cat | VETgirl Veterinary Continuing Education Videos

In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education video, we demonstrate how to perform a manual complete blood count in a dog or cat. If you're a veterinarian, veterinary student, or veterinary technician, this is a hematology procedure you must feel comfortable performing in the veterinary clinic.

[@BeThatOnePercent]

Is it CBC without RBC count?

[@imixmuan9081]

If you have a PCV/HCT....

[@annawright4545]

On that plate you will not make a cell count. This might be ok for a flow test perhaps to quick check on an IMHA diagnosis. I am not sure with what purpose this VDO was made.

Not everyone has a 16k IDEXX machine sitting on their counter, and I can tell you as a vet and former tech who works in low resource environments it is extremely useful to know how to do this. When I taught at a vet tech program I made damn sure my students knew how to do a quick CBC rather than waiting 24 hrs or more for lab work to come back. On the Navajo Nation this was a life saver several times.
