Bone marrow and hematologic values of wild raccoons.
Blood and bone marrow samples were obtained from wild raccoons in the State of Connecticut to determine leukocyte and erythrocyte counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and peripheral blood and bone marrow differential counts. Calculations were made to determine mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
