Laboratory Diagnostics in Small Mammals

More and more frequently, small mammals are being presented
as patients in veterinary practise. Blood tests for rabbits, ferrets
and guinea pigs are part of the standard daily routine, as are faecal,
urinary and cytological investigations in these species.
This compact practical handbook shows what type and when such
investigations should be done, which materials should be collected,
the optimal sampling methods for the diff erent species, the sample
preparation, the species-specifi c interpretation of the results, and
which diseases can lead to deviations from normal values.
