Feline Hematology & Clinical Pathology

Feline hematology can present a few unique challenges. In this lecture we will discuss some common artifacts and clinician questions about feline hematology, and will offer tips on troubleshooting some of the more common problems we encounter when dealing with feline hematology samples. Selected common feline hematologic abnormalities will also be discussed.
Feline care includes laboratory testing such as clinical chemistry or urinalysis that is most often performed within the clinics by veterinarians and veterinary staff. Quality assurance and quality control must be performed throughout the testing process. The testing process is typically split into preanalytical, analytical, and post-analytical factors. General guidelines for each step will be provided and discussed to ensure quality care to feline patients.
