Abstract
The hematological profiles of apparently healthy male Kombai dogs in Theni district was studied in this research. Twelve male Kombai dogs had their cephalic veins venipunctured to obtain blood samples, which were then analysed. Red blood cell count, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and haemoglobin content were among the haematological parameters measured. The study also included a total white blood cell count, which includes eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and platelets. This information may be helpful to veterinary clinicians and biomedical researchers.
