Abstract EN
This study was conducted to count the cytological parameters; total protein (TP), white blood cells count WBCs and differential (WBCs); from transtracheal aspirate (TTA) and microbial detection from thirty cats in Al-Qadisiyah province.
Both genders were involved and the cats ranged in 1-3 years old.
The mean total protein measured by the spectrophotometer was (89±0.04) mg/dl, mean WBCs was (925±0.7) cell/µl and the mean differential WBCs record 61% alveolar macrophages, 31% eosinophils and 8% neutrophils.
Microbial investigation has revealed that respiratory tract of cats have no flora and we could not observe any respiratory infection in the captured cats; it may be related to the physiological and immunological adaptation of the respiratory system through the presence of the alveolar macrophage with a high percentage concerning other WBCs.
There was no obvious regard to gender or age on these limitations.
