The haematology toolbox upgrade: Investigating anaemia without the algebra

Zoetis Learning Academy
Finding anaemia is easy—finding the cause is where things get tricky. This session sharpens CBC interpretation by focusing on key red cell indices, including CHCM, which offers direct insight into red blood cell haemoglobin concentration—critical information for classifying anaemia accurately. It then integrates the blood smear as a vital morphological check—now faster with AI-enabled automation—to confirm patterns and refine differentials. Case-based examples show how to combine CBC and smear findings to guide next-step testing with greater confidence and clarity.
- Identify the key CBC parameters available on the Vetscan Opticell, including CHCM, that inform anaemia characterisation in dogs and cats presenting in practice
- Apply blood smear analysis to support anaemia classification alongside standard CBC parameters in canine and feline patients
- Apply combined CBC parameters and blood smear findings to guide the next diagnostic steps for dogs and cats presenting with anaemia.
