Description
Voigt is a retired veterinary technology teacher in Wyoming, and Swist is a veterinary pathologist for the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. They update their textbook for veterinary technology students with information on new technology, equipment, and test techniques since the first edition. The volume introduces veterinary hematology and the fundamental concepts of collecting, handling, preparing, and testing blood and other samples in the hematology laboratory, but it is not a diagnostic aid, a differential disease discussion, or a complete atlas of blood cells.
