"I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in learning
how to work up a case with the use of hematology and cytology, how
to interpret, how to stain and read slides, and how to follow up.
An excellent book to keep in the break room for veterinarians and
technicians to read and discuss". (Vin Book Reviews, 2011)

"The book covers a wide variety of species -- mammals, birds,
reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Each case includes a pertinent
signalment and history, physical exam findings, hematological or
cytological results and interpretation, and other appropriate
diagnostic results that help readers form a complete picture of the
case. The text is augmented by full-color pictures of blood smears
and cytology specimens for each case. Of particular value in this
book is the detailed history and signalment provided for each case.
The book includes the final diagnosis in most cases and any
follow-up that occurred. These features make this book an extremely
practical resource for anyone seeing these patients.This is a
well-written and designed book providing real-life examples to
veterinarians and veterinary students working with nontraditional
species." (Doody's, January 2011)

"The cases are presented in an easy to follow format.... The
color photos and microscopic images are beautifully done
representations of what is seen in these diagnostic cases. I would
recommend this book for the practicing veterinary technician as
well as the practitioner that works with avian and exotic
animal patients. It is a great reference for anyone involved in the
hematology or cytological examination of exotics. Exotic practices
will find it a very useful addition to their library." -VSPN
