The Busy Vets Guide To Cytology Pdf Download

By Nick Marsh

The Busy Vet’s Guide to Cytology is an in-practice guide to using cytology in everyday veterinary practice. It outlines the basics of cytological examination and explores how to work with cytology results as a diagnostic tool alongside other treatments and assessments.
The Guide also covers: acquiring and preparing cytological specimens, staining slides and microscope use, interpreting samples from common locations.
Addressing general principles of veterinary cytology and then taking a body-system approach applied to all veterinary patients, the book ends with working with labs, a round-up of difficult cases, and digital cytology. The Busy Vet’s Guide to Cytology is accessible, digestible, and an indispensable aid to vets in practice.
