Atlas of Canine and Feline Peripheral Blood Smears, 1st Edition
Spiral Bound
An illustrated guide to the morphology of blood cells, Atlas of Canine and Feline Peripheral Blood Smears covers patient assessment for common hematologic disorders and diseases in dogs and cats. Over 1,000 full-color photomicrographs depict abnormalities within each blood cell line, with multiple pictures of each morphologic abnormality and variations in their appearance. This concise reference will help your students interpret blood smears and recognize blood cells and their deviations from normal in responding to inflammation, infection, and toxicity.
