Illustrated with high-quality photomicrographs, Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Cytology: the Skin and Subcutis is a comprehensive resource for identifying--through cytology--the most common cutaneous and subcutaneous diseases of dogs and cats.

With key points describing the main clinical and cytological features of each lesion, the book provides lists of differential diagnoses, including diagnostic algorithms, and handy ‘hints and tips’ boxes. It is also enriched by chapters on the correct use and maintenance of the microscope, and techniques of collection and preparation of cytological specimens, making the book a valuable resource for veterinary pathologists (clinical and anatomic), residents, veterinary undergraduate students and small animal practitioners.

Key features:
• Over 130 photomicrographs of the most common skin and subcutaneous lesions to help with diagnosis
• Ideal reference book with concise descriptions of each lesion
• Organized into key bullet points to facilitate use during diagnostic work, or as a revision aid
