HEMATOLOGY AND SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY OF HARBOR SEAL (PHOCA VITULINA) PUPS AFTER REHABILITATION IN THE NETHERLANDS
Hematology and serum biochemistry profiles are used to evaluate the health status of animals ongoing rehabilitation. The aim of this project was to develop blood and biochemistry ranges for harbor seal pups (Phoca vitulina) after rehabilitation; thus, 22 different blood parameters in 60 animals were...
