Veterinary Cytology: Dog, Cat, Horse and Cow: Self-Assessment Color Review, Second Edition (Veterinary Self-Assessment Color Review Series)

This book aims to provide a representative sample of cytology cases encountered in
a variety of diagnostic situations. It is not an inclusive text covering all conditions
but offers a variety of cytology features and patterns from which anyone interested
in veterinary cytology can continue to learn and test their knowledge. Bone marrow
is covered by only a very few cases, since readers should not be misled and believe
that they might be able to interpret a bone marrow from a single cytological field –
they also need extensive knowledge and experience in haematology.
The format throughout the text encourages description and interpretation of
the cytological specimens represented in the photomicrographs. The exercise of
description is one that should not be ignored and, laborious as it may seem to those
making their first attempts, it is critical for the development of a discriminating
cytologist. The process of description provides a guide to a systematic method for
covering the cellular and noncellular material that is present
