Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The red cells, white cells, and platelets — a broad snapshot of overall health.

What it measures

  • Red blood cells (oxygen-carrying capacity)
  • White blood cells (immune activity and infection)
  • Platelets (clotting)
  • Hydration clues (via packed cell volume)

What results can show

  • Flags anemia, some infections, and inflammation
  • Can surface early signs of immune or bone-marrow problems
  • Gives a baseline that becomes more useful year over year

Honest limitations

A CBC shows that something may be off, not what is causing it. Abnormal results point your vet toward the next step; they are not a diagnosis on their own.

What we collect

Numeric cell counts and indices from the panel, stored against your pet’s profile.

Educational information only, not veterinary advice, and not a diagnosis. Always consult a licensed veterinarian about your pet's health.
