Item Perfil leucocitario característico del leucograma de estrés en gatos(Universidad santiago de cali, 2025-11-04) Benavides Rodriguez, Carolina; Vargas Camargo, Oscar Julián (Director)The main objective of this project is to determine the characteristics of the stress leukogram in cats, considering that, currently, not only is there less documentation on this hematological phenomenon compared to other species such as dogs, but certain variations in the leukocyte profile associated with stress have also been identified, which makes it difficult to standardize parameters and diagnoses. Similarly, this research is based on the understanding that stress, rather than state of mind, is a psychological and physiological response of feline organisms to factors considered threats or changes in their normal environment (Buffington & Bain, 2021). Therefore, the project aims to categorize the main characteristics found in the stress leukogram in cats through a qualitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional documentary review, in which the latest articles and clinical cases published on the subject in the last semester of 2024 were reviewed. Thus, the main findings of this article revealed that, despite the existence of different stressors, the hematological response of the cats studied coincided in the three studies analyzed, demonstrating that lymphopenia, eosinopenia, and leukocytosis due to neutrophilia are key factors in characterizing stress leukogram in domestic cats.
