Session Summary:

In this case-based webinar, we will be utilizing the minimum database (including hematology, biochemical profiling, and the complete urinalysis) to work through advanced cases, some with surprising twists. Ancillary diagnostics -- including blood film review, imaging, and reference lab expertise – will allow for further interpretation of the data that is key to understanding disease and case management. Cases will be presented by a clinical pathologist and veterinary technician specialist, highlighting the important role each play in maximizing laboratory diagnostics.
