Hematologic and coagulation studies on cotton rats, Sigmodon hispidus.
1. Blood coagulation factor levels and the normal ranges of commonly used coagulation tests were established for Sigmodon hispidus. 2. The white cell, red cell and platelet counts have been determined together with the red cell parameters as measured by the Coulter model S-plus. 3. The relationship between the results reported here and those published for related species are discussed.
