Guest BradyzMommy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I can't seem to find an easy answer on what a normal white cell monocyte count should be. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's normally just part of WBCs, so- do you have a total WBC count? WBC Greyhound: 3.5 - 6.5 Other dog: 6.0 - 17.0 Other greyhound CBC changes are less well known. The greyhound's normally low WBC has caused more than one healthy greyhound to undergo a bone marrow biopsy in search of "cancer" or some other cause of the "low WBC."

Guest BradyzMommy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I only have a monocyte of 1836 which i was told was on the higher end and likely indicates an infection. Edited June 22, 2009 by BradyzMommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvAPuppy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Normal is approx 200-1000 absolute count, or 8-9% of total white count. Toxic segmented white cells, or neutrophils can be large and have large, non formed nuclei like mono's and be misidentified on the slide -- indicating an infection. elevated monos themselves can indicate infection -- they're macrophagic cells -- they eat bugs.
