What are the emergency diagnostic procedures for hematological disorders in small animals?

The complete blood count is a basic laboratory test that should be performed in any sick patient, especially in anemic patients or those with hematological disorders.
The blood smear should be evaluated together with the complete blood count.
The patient's leukocyte count and differential provide information to the clinician.
The presence of coin stacks in the blood smear can be confused with true erythrocyte agglutination.
The platelet morphology and count should be performed in all cases, especially in those suspected of primary or secondary platelet dysfunction.
