[QUOTE="DorgEndo, post: 2019897, member: 103228"] It does say WBC = 7400 and PVC = 32%. PVC% depending on how they did the test should be a normal value. Packed cell volume. How much of the blood is cells compared to fluids. My vet gives the range of 23-39% as normal for a bearded dragon from the hematocrit test (HCT) for this value. WBC = 7400. Did they mean total white blood cells? The range is wide, my vet gives the value 2.8-14.6 1000/µL as normal range. They just list 7400 without a measurement which is confusing. White blood cell count for bearded dragons include Heterophils (the most common white blood cell), Bands (immature heterophils), lymphocytes, monocytes, azurophillic monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils. If the basophils were 35 /µL that would track with the skin infection you noticed, but I'm not Tracie so add some salt to my human medical world reading into veterinary world values. Usually the vast majority of WBC are heterophils and any elevation of the other types of WBC are proof of types of infections based on which WBC value is elevated [/QUOTE]
