ABSTRACT
The hemic system is examined to evaluate clinical signs referable to the hemic system, establish a data base, or monitor the course of disease processes. Clinical signs of hemic disorders include pale mucous membranes, icterus, hemorrhage, hemoglobinuria, and tachycardia. Compared to other species, ruminants have small red blood cells, respond to anemia by releasing stippled red blood cells, commonly become neutropenic during acute bacterial sepsis, and fail to develop marked neutrophilia or left shift in response to inflammation.
