Clinical Cases in Avian and Exotic Animal Hematology and Cytology demonstrates how to use hemic cytology and cytodiagnosis as part of the assessment of an exotic animal patient. The clinical case presentation uses a hands-on, practical approach to facilitate learning, teaching, and comprehension. Well-illustrated throughout, each case presents the signalment, history, and physical exam findings. It then moves on to interpretive discussion and summarizes how to use the techniques in clinical practice. This book serves as a helpful guide for exotics veterinarians, zoo and aquarium veterinarians, and veterinary hematologists.
