Practical resource combining hematology information with reference images and procedures

Hematology Techniques for Veterinary Technicians is the first textbook to integrate extensive hematology knowledge with essential reference images and procedures. After a thorough introduction, this book guides readers through essential procedures like packed cell volume and total solids testing, blood sample collection, and blood smear preparation, with a focus on common domestic species. Real-life case studies with corresponding hematologic images elucidate key concepts for readers.

The quick-reference page provides access to the step-by-step laboratory procedures throughout the book in an easy-to-find format, and the reference image and range sections offer a practical tool for comparing and identifying findings on blood smears in the lab.

Hematology Techniques for Veterinary Technicians includes information on:

• The pivotal role of hematology in veterinary medicine, the fascinating processes of blood cell genesis, and the meticulous setup and safety protocols of the hematology lab
• Cellular differentiation and morphology of common domestic species-feline, canine, equine, bovine, and small ruminants-enabling readers to gain proficiency in performing complete blood counts and adeptly interpreting the results
• Common hematologic disorders including anemia, polycythemia, blood parasites, coagulopathies, and leukemias
• Cellular differentiation and morphology, covering erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
• Platelet disorders (e.g., giant platelets and platelet clumps) and coagulation disorders (e.g., fibrin strands and schistocytes)

Hematology Techniques for Veterinary Technicians equips both students and experienced technicians to approach hematology with confidence, improve diagnostic accuracy, and make a meaningful impact in veterinary care.
