A complete blood count (or CBC) for any animal is a diagnostic test that measures the cellular components of blood. The number of red blood cells and the number and types of white blood cells as well as the percentage of cellular components to fluid are the commonly reported parameters. This diagnostic test is used to help assess patients for anemia, infection status and hydration.
