Please Note:
• EDTA may be an acceptable anticoagulant in certain species of birds and reptiles
but causes haemolysis in many. Therefore samples for haematology are preferred
in heparin for non-mammalian species.
• The use of heparin as the sole anticoagulant is useful when only small amounts of
blood are available for analysis. Both haematology and biochemistry can be
performed using a single heparin tube.
• When only small amounts of plasma are submitted, biochemistry parameters will
be prioritised.
• Some species will require some changes to these basic profiles. For instance, urea
may be a useful parameter in some species of reptiles and amylase is essential in
Varanus species.
