Lymphocytes are small and well-differentiated. Consider these results with knowledge if the
species has a predilection for a higher lymphocyte count, clinical impression, and other
diagnostic findings.
The cell distribution was uneven on the provided smears. This may have affected the CBC
results.
WBC clumps were observed on the blood smear. This may affect the differential and total count.
