Summary
We were unable to confirm the assertions of numerous authors that an alimentary leucocytosis occurs in dogs. The reaction was studied in a sham feeding experiment.
In three dogs, after the sham feeding, there was no change in the white cell count. Repeated experiments on twelve dogs showed no significant difference between the leucocyte curves obtained before and after real feeding. The kind of food, whether protein, fat, or carbohydrate, had no influence on any change in the number of leucocytes or on the differential white cell count. The results were evaluated statistically.
