Veterinary Hematology: Atlas of Common Domestic and Non–Domestic Species

This textbook and reference contains 171 full–color photomicrographs with short morphological descriptions useful to novice and experienced hematologists. It provides "the fundamentals for recognizing the normal and abnormal morphological features of blood cells of the common domestic species, including dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, and llamas."
The book also contains: bibliographic references to information on morphological features, additional diseases, and pathophysiological states not described in the book; a glossary of terms; and two appendices that present methods used in the Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Clinical Pathology Laboratory for semiquantitation of some of the morphological abnormalities. They offer "useful guidelines to reproducibly record morphological abnormalities that may be present in a blood smear."
