Abstract

The Pelger-Huët anomaly is a genetic alteration that modifies the morphological characteristics of the immune system's granulocytes, primarily in neutrophils. This alteration has autosomal dominant characteristic and has two possible forms, heterozygous and homozygous. The aim of this study was to report the Pelger-Huët alteration in a one-year-old Border Collie female dog, which did not present clinical signs of the disease, but presented hyposegmentation in all neutrophils evaluated in the hemogram.
