CLINICAL CASES IN AVIAN & EXOTIC ANIMAL HEMATOLOGY & CYTOLOGY

Clinical Cases in Avian & Exotic Animal Hematology & Cytology demonstrates how to use hemic cytology and cytodiagnosis as part of the assessment of an exotic animal patient, taking the reader through nearly 100 actual clinical cases. Building on the knowledge gained in Terry Campbell's Avian & Exotic Animal Hematology & Cytology, the clinical case presentation of this book applies this knowledge, putting theory into practice. With a focus on cytological interpretation, the hands-on, practical approach facilitates learning, teaching, and comprehension.

Organized according to animal type and diagnostic focus, each case begins by presenting the signalment, history, physical exam findings, and other diagnostic information. In addition to the cases, clinical data, such as serum or plasma biochemistry profiles, imaging, and histology, are also presented. The book then moves on to interpretive discussion, concluding with a summary describing how to use the techniques in clinical practice.

Well illustrated throughout, Clinical Cases in Avian & Exotic Animal Hematology & Cytology is a helpful guide for exotics veterinarians, zoo and aquarium veterinarians, and veterinary hematologists.
