Summary

Introducing a new reference on veterinary hematology and clinical chemistry that is comprehensive and practical. From basic principles and laboratory techniques to diagnostic evaluation, readers will find equally concise and clear coverage of both hematology and clinical chemistry for many domestic and exotic species. Also, features such as numerous full-color and black-and-white illustrations, coverage of avian and exotic hematology, and an extensive use of case studies make this reference a must-have for any veterinary reference library.
