Abstract
Full blood counts and fibrinogen estimations were carried out on 14 healthy adult Gentoo penguins and on 14 birds with bumblefoot. Compared with healthy birds, individuals with severe bumblefoot showed heterophilia and hyperfibrinogenaemia. These changes probably typify the response of the blood to inflammatory and infectious agents in the species.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
