Abstract

Platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen degradation products, fibrinogen, and modified thrombin time were determined in 46 healthy adult cats. Samples were obtained by direct venipuncture (pet cats, n=20) or through an 18 gauge intravenous jugular catheter (laboratory conditioned cats, n=26). Range, mean, standard error, and 95% confidence interval were tabulated for the 2 samples. A statistically significant difference between the two groups of cats (Student's t test, p <.05) was found for fibrinogen. No statistical difference was detected between the two groups of cats for the other laboratory values.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
