Summary

An insignificant anemia of short duration develops following splenic denervation in dogs. The most characteristic feature of the blood picture in this condition is the presence of fluctuations in the hemoglobin level and especially in that of the red cell count and vitamin B12 concentration, varying from one test to another. It is suggested that splenic denervation tends to disturb the mechanism maintaining a more or less stable level of the mentioned indices within the normal limits.
