Combining essential hematology content with the diagnostic features of an atlas, Veterinary Hematology: A Diagnostic Guide and Color Atlas delivers all the information students need to accurately assess and diagnose the blood diseases of common domestic animals — including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and llamas. This all-in-one resource utilizes a clinically-oriented and user-friendly approach to take students through the processes of selecting relevant diagnostic tests, collecting and preparing samples, interpreting sample results, and determining their clinical significance. High-resolution photomicrographs, full-color illustrations, and excellent schematic drawings, tables, and quick-reference algorithms help students clearly visualize these concepts and procedures.

    • Two books in one provides students with the information of a user-friendly, clinical textbook and the diagnostic features of a color atlas in a single reference.
    • Practical, clinically-relevant text delivers vital information to students first learning about hematology prior to entering veterinary practice.
      • Essential information on principles and procedures that are employed in recognizing normal, abnormal, and artifactual features of blood and bone marrow samples and developing accurate diagnoses
      • Common cytochemical stains and summary charts for interpretation
      • Sample collection, staining procedures, and diagnostic techniques
      • Differentiating features of malignant and benign hematologic disorders
      • Miscellaneous cells and blood parasites and their significance in the evaluation of blood smears
      • Hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic neoplasms

    • High- resolution photomicrographs and excellent schematic drawings, tables, boxes and quick-reference algorithms foster basic clinical understanding and differential diagnostic considerations.
    • Over 800 full-color illustrations allow students to clearly visualize the concepts and clinical features of the blood and bone marrow — from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies.
