[Seasonal changeability in the leukocytic composition of blood in dogs]
Abstract
The leukocyte blood composition was studied for seven years in dogs kept outdoors. The lymphocyte count proved to be higher from May to September than from November to March. Variations in the neutrophil and monocyte count were subject to reverse regularity. Changes in the total leukocyte count failed to coincide with the seasonal periodicity.
