Despite the growing role of imaging technologies such as ultrasound and CT, clinical pathology remains one of the most important and economical diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine.

A section of algorithms leads the reader from clinical and laboratory findings to possible diagnoses. Concluding chapters present the characteristic pattern (profile) of laboratory findings for more than 100 diseases of dogs and cats. Updates include approximately 80 new tests, a new section on dynamic laboratory testing, and many other important advances.
