[Hematological and biochemical normogram and daily variations of the base parameters in the normal dog]

These experiments were designed in order to determine normal hematological and biochemical values of normal dogs living in a laboratory environment. The findings were conclusive. Serial studies of some of the basic parameters have been done in a second group of animals. After a short period of conditioning, daily changes in weight, temperature, hematocrit and hemoglobin are minimal if the methods of analysis are standardized and reproducible.
