Untreated dogs have an average survival time of 60 days. [20] Lymphoma with a histologic high grade generally respond better to treatment but have shorter survival times than dogs with low grade lymphoma. [6] Dogs with B-lymphocyte tumors have a longer survival time than T-lymphocyte tumors. [1]
A reticulocyte count that is high, normal or low will aid with the classification process. A high reticulocyte count signifies that bone marrow processes are normal. A low reticulocyte count would signify there is a problem at the level of the bone marrow, which produce the stem cells. Acute blood loss would result in a high reticulocyte count ...
The reticulocyte index (RI) should be between 0.5% and 2.5% for a healthy individual. [8] RI < 0.5% with anemia indicates maturation disorder, meaning loss of red blood cells, but also decreased production of reticulocytes (i.e., an inadequate response to correct the anemia) and therefore red blood cells. [2]
A reticulocyte percentage that is higher than "normal" can be a sign of anemia, but this depends on the health of a person's bone marrow. Calculating the reticulocyte production index is an important step in understanding whether or not the reticulocyte count is appropriate to the situation. This is often a more important question than whether ...
Pancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is significant reduction in the number of almost all blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, monocytes, lymphocytes, etc.).
This type of cancer is common in some dog breeds. Dogs that only have surgery usually live less than a year, and if the cancer is already advanced at the time of diagnosis, the survival time is ...
Hemangiosarcoma is a rapidly growing, highly invasive variety of cancer that occurs almost exclusively in dogs, and only rarely in cats, horses, mice, [1] or humans (vinyl chloride toxicity). It is a sarcoma arising from the lining of blood vessels; that is, blood-filled channels and spaces are commonly observed microscopically.
The LD50 is when half the dogs die at that dose, so the toxic dose may be a lot lower, and if your dog has a health problem or is taking another medication, it may be even lower than that.
