| Parameter | bone marrow cytology, complete blood count |
| Method | Blood count: flow cytometry
Cytological assessment of bone marrow: microscopy |
| Species list | Dog, cat, horse, other on request |
| Duration | 2–5 working days |
| Remark | - For diagnostically conclusive findings, it is essential to also send in a detailed clinical history with diagnostic task together with the bone marrow material, peripheral blood and blood smears!
