It will also prove to be of benefit for clinicalpathology residents and specialists who deal with nondomestic andexotic species. (Journal of The American VeterinaryMedical Association, 15 March 2013) I found the self-study part really useful ... A greatinvestment to help you decipher the mysteries of the labreports. (Tomorrow's vets, 1 September2013) This book cannot be highly recommended enough to the vetstudent, and I believe it is just as indispensable for theveterinary surgeon in practice no mean feat for atextbook. (Veterinary Practice News, 1September 2013) In summary, this is a comprehensive text with a strongpractical and clinical focus and. It s clearly written andsupplemented by generous numbers of quality images ... This bookhas a small animal bias and as such will be of greatest interest tosmall animal clinicians, but will also be valuable to cliniciansseeing mixed practice, or delving into providing small mammal orexotic pet clinical pathology. (AustralianVeterinary Journal, 9 September 2013) The second edition certainly fulfils its stated objectiveand is a valuable resource for its targeted audience. It willalso prove be benefit for clinical pathology residents andspecialists who deal with nondomestic and exoticspecies. (Journal of the American VeterinaryMedical Association, 15 March 2013) Overall, I think this book is well written and beautifullypresented. It appears to bridge the gap between undergraduateand postgraduate readers and covers all the species likely to beencountered in mixed veterinary practice. ( Veterinary Record, 16 March 2013) "Mary Anna Thrall, et.al.'s VETERINARY HEMATOLOGY AND CLINICALCHEMISTRY, 2ND EDITION (9780813810270, $99.99) offers a key tounderstanding veterinary laboratory diagnostic techniques andinterpretation and covers hematology and chemistry for a range ofspecies to include fish, amphibians and birds. This second editionincludes many revisions and additions, from new chapters onmolecular diagnostics of hematologic malignancies to updates inadvancements on diagnostic technology and revisions to datainterpretation. Both elementary basics and advanced laboratorytechniques are covered in a guide that offers over seventy casestudies to help readers understanding the entire laboratoryprocess, making for a top recommendation for veterinary referencecollections." (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 December2012)"It's a powerful reference packed with practical applications andshould be considered a 'must' for any veterinary referencelibrary."
