Cytology is the minimum database for dermatology cases. However, it is one of the most underutilized diagnostic tests in management of allergic patients. Veterinarians are often nervous to offer cytology based on cost, time or lack of confidence. But, explaining the value of cytology to clients can be easier than you think!
Though cytology has been discussed on the podcast before, today's episode specifically touches on convincing owners the importance of a skin or ear cytology. From what you can find to how it can make management of their allergic pet cheaper long-term.
