    Document: WHOLE BLOOD IMPEDANCE PLATELET AGGREGOME-TRY IN HEALTHY GREYHOUNDS COMPARED TO HEALTHY BEAGLES. S. Shropshire, C. Olver. Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, USA Whole blood impedance platelet aggregometry can be affected by hematocrit and platelet count in humans. We sought to evaluate whether this phenomenon exists in dogs by comparing blood from Greyhounds, a breed known to have high hematocrits and low platelet counts, to Beagles, a breed with "normal" hematocrits and platelet counts. We hypothesized that aggregometry in Greyhounds may result in erroneous interpretations of platelet function. The purpose of this study was to compare whole blood impedance platelet aggregometry and other hemostatic assays in healthy Greyhounds to healthy Beagles.
