The differentiation between intestinal lymphoma and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be diagnostically challenging. Anemia is a frequent paraneoplastic syndrome in dogs with lymphoma, and eccentrocytes have also been reported in canine lymphoma. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and various RBC morphologic anomalies in the peripheral blood of dogs with a diagnosis of lymphoma or IBD, to determine if there is an association with the specific disease and with the severity of lymphoma.
