Atlas of Clinical Avian Hematology is a practicalguide to the hematological characteristics of birds. Illustratedthroughout with many color photographs, this rich resource aidsinterpretation of hematological data, and promotes the accurateclassification of hematological cells and identification ofpathological changes. Covering over 100 species of birds, the Atlas illustrates thegeneral hematological characteristics of birds; the hematologicalvariations encountered between the different Orders of birds; andthe hematological responses to disease of birds, using clinicalcases from many species of birds and a range of clinicaldisorders. Describes how to collect and handle blood samples from birds tobest preserve the quality of the blood. Highly illustrated, color guide to the hematologicalcharacteristics of birds Case data and images illustrates the avian hematologicalresponses to disease

Now fully updated and revised, the Second Edition is the must-have veterinary hematology atlas for veterinarians, veterinary students, and veterinary technicians alike.

Now in its third edition, Veterinary Hematology: Atlas of Common Domestic and Non-Domestic Species continues to offer veterinarians and veterinary technicians an essential guide to veterinary hematology. Comprehensive in scope, the atlas presents the fundamentals of both normal and abnormal blood cell morphologies, with coverage of a wide range of species, including dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, llamas, rats, mice, nonhuman primates, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. Designed as a useful and accessible guide, the updated third edition presents more than 300 color images and includes a new chapter that describes the best techniques for using hematology instruments. The authors—noted experts on the topic—clearly show how to identify and interpret the hematological changes that may occur in a variety of species. In addition, a companion website offers a wealth of additional hematological images. This vital atlas: Provides an updated edition of the popular veterinary hematology atlas for veterinarians, veterinary students, and veterinary technicians Contains a new instructive chapter on hematology instrumentation Presents hundreds of high-quality color photographs that help in identification Covers a range of species from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles Features a companion website that provides a wealth of hematological images Written for both novice and experienced veterinarians, Veterinary Hematology provides a complete resource to blood morphologic abnormalities in domestic and non-domestic species.

Exotic Animal Hematology and Cytology, Fourth Edition updates the most comprehensive reference available on exotic animal hematology and cytology of all major species. Acts as both an atlas and a text, offering high-quality photographs and step-by-step descriptions of techniques associated with preparing and interpreting hematology and cytology samples Presents complete information on hematology and cytology in a wide range of exotic species, including small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish Includes more than 700 high-quality color photographs, now with sizing bars Takes a new disease-based structure for improved ease of use Provides straightforward step-by-step descriptions of sample preparation and interpretation

This revised, updated and expanded edition of Christine Hawkey’s A Colour Atlas of Comparative Veterinary Haematology is bursting with high-quality images to aid identification of blood cells and haemoparasites in the different species commonly seen in private practice and zoological collections. It will assist veterinarians in the identification of normal and abnormal blood cells and in understanding the structural differences of blood cells between the various taxa within the Animal Kingdom. With the help of this guide, readers will be able to understand haemoresponses in the presence of specific and non-specific disease processes and identify haemoparasites commonly seen in blood films from wild and exotic animals. This impressively illustrated comparative haematology atlas is unrivalled in its scope, quality and accuracy. It is a must-have for veterinary students, veterinary surgeons working in general and referral veterinary clinical practices, clinicians working in zoological collections and specialists in exotic animal medicine.
