Those RBCs are often immature (reticulocytes) and somewhat larger than normal and they may not contain normal amounts of hemoglobin which is what accounts for the low MCHC. Low MCHC can happen after your pet has lost sizable amounts of blood when its body is forced to replace large numbers of lost red blood cells and still has the capacity to do so (a regenerative anemia). Reasons Why Your Pet’s MCHC Might Be Low ( Hypochromic Anemia):
It is your pet’s hemoglobin concentration value x 100 divided by its hematocrit ( Hct= PCV) value. Your pet’s Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) is the average hemoglobin concentration in each of its red blood cells. Your Pet’s Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration = MCHC
