Hematologic results (average of three observers, E.E.V.C., J.D.C.O., and T.P.) in House Finches, Haemorhous mexicanus, treated with dexamethasone (DEX) or saline control (CTL). Parameters were measured on d 0 (pretreatment; DEX n=9, CTL n=9), and d 4 (DEX n=9, CTL n=9), 8 (DEX n=7, CTL n=8), and 9 (DEX n=7, CTL n=8) posttreatment. P values correspond to comparisons of pre- and posttreatment medians (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Significance (P<0.05) is indicated with an upward or downward arrow, indicating an increase or decrease in posttreatment counts, respectively. *P=0.0499, on the verge of significance. Tx = treatment.
