Abstract

Haematological data from 12 western ringtail possums with tissue trauma resulting from motor vehicle impact or dog bite wounds were analysed. The greatest concentration of neutrophils observed was 7.22 × 10⁹/l. Morphological atypia of neutrophils was evident in four animals. Four animals had significant anaemia, and three animals exhibited increased erythropoiesis (6–17.2% polychromatophilic erythrocytes). The study illustrates that marked neutrophilia is unlikely to occur in response to trauma-induced tissue inflammation in this species. However, marked increases in immature erythrocytes may be observed in the peripheral blood in response to anaemia.
