Clinical Atlas of Small Animal Cytology provides an essential guide for interpreting cytologic samples to diagnose small animal patients. Features photographs of diseases with a diagnosis confirmed by pathognomonic cytologic features, histopathology, special stains, microbial culture, or other confirmatory testsEmphasizes characteristic features of each disease and distinguishing featuresProvides multiple images to differentiate cells from lesions that could look similarPresents more than 500 representative high-quality images
