Veterinary Necropsy of Dogs and Cats is a practical, case-based guide to lesion interpretation which includes guidance for performing a necropsy and tissue sampling. It takes a body systems approach to cover the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestion system, etc., chapter by chapter, each including a clinical history and illustrated pathological findings.
Each chapter contains several cases and a self-assessment review, with model answers at core level. Throughout are tips on sample collection, lesion recognition and interpretation, common artefacts and pitfalls, and advice from experienced practitioners on building confidence and competence with general procedures, as well as suggested approaches for dealing with more complicated or difficult cases.
Veterinary Necropsy of Dogs and Cats is a useful resource for undergraduates, qualified vets and trainee pathologists, as it provides self-assessment review at different levels, and maps the cases to RCVS Day One competencies. The approach is very practical and accessible, with advice and commentary from the authors, based on their experience.
