Which laboratory finding most strongly supports regenerative anaemia in a dog after acute blood loss?
Correct answer: C. Increased reticulocyte count
- A. Low reticulocyte count
- B. Marked neutropenia
- C. Increased reticulocyte count
- D. Reduced plasma fibrinogen
Explanation
An increased reticulocyte count indicates that the bone marrow is releasing immature red cells in response to red-cell loss. Reticulocytes may be low early after haemorrhage because marrow regeneration requires several days.
