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, and
• 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 and digestible – an indispensable aid to vets in practice.
