Exotic Animal Laboratory Diagnosis

Much of the challenge of clinicopathologic interpretation of exotic animals is based on lack of data. The ability to perform or request various diagnostic assays is available to the clinician in a variety of settings. Choices include sending samples to diagnostic reference veterinary laboratories or laboratories at teaching universities, establishing an in‐house laboratory, or utilizing a combination of both; there are advantages and disadvantages to each of the scenarios. A quality control program will help identifyproblems with the equipment, test methodology, operator,or potentially, multiple factors.

Exotic Animal Laboratory Diagnosis is a practical guide to diagnostic testing in a wide range of exotic species. This resource covers sample collection, storage techniques, and laboratory assays for diagnosis, assessment of health, and prevention of disease. The book focuses on clinical biochemistries, urinalysis, and common laboratory diagnostic tests, providing a comprehensive reference for selecting, obtaining, and using diagnostic tests in treating exotic patients. Organized by species, allowing for quick access to relevant information on laboratory testing in the clinic setting.
