Fritz my disabled 7 y.o. sandy hobble developed alopecia last year. He
is very active, good apetite, in fact apart from lack of hair on his back,
flanks, belly and tail he's a picture of health. My vet took a blood
sample last week and the results are below:-
Red cells 5.56 x 10 (12) /l
Haemaglobin 13.4 g/dl
PCV 0.3 l/l
MCV 54.0
MCH 29.1
MCNC 44.7
White cells 6.4 x 10 (9)
Neutrophils 54%
Lymphocytes 45%
Monocytes 1%
Cosinaphils 0%
Platelets 253 x 10 (9) /l
Total protein 62.3 g/l
Albumin 32.6 g/l
Globulin 29.7 g/l
AC Ratro 1.10
Urea 8.9 nmol/l
Creatinine 73.2 nnmol/l
ALT 63.8iu/l
Alk Phos 31.0 iu/l
Gamma GT 4.4 iu/l
Total bilirubin 1.8 nmol/l
Amglose(?) 374 35.9 iu/l
Fritz was given a quick whiff of Isoflurane just to sedate him slightly
whilst the vet took the blood.
Are there any indications in the above that could account for Fritz's lack
of hair?
BTW Fritz's disability was probably caused by osteodystrophy - the breeder
obviously fed him an incorrect diet when he was a kit
