Q

What is physiologic leukocytosis?

A

An increase in epinephrine centralizes the marginal pool, and double total WBC count in minutes. Splenic contraction will release WBC & RBC into peripheral circulation. Mature neutrophilia w/o left shift causes the leukocytosis. Lymphocytosis may also occur in young horses and cats.
