Abstract
Packed-cell volume, sedimentation rate, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, differential count, and red cell diameter have been determined on blood samples taken from 22 beavers. The various values obtained are in general comparable with those reported for the other rodents. Exceptions to this general agreement were noted in the much higher sedimentation rate and slightly larger red cell diameter of beaver blood.Keywords
