title: Basic techniques in pet avian clinical pathology.
abstract: An understanding of clinical pathology is extremely important for the pet avian clinician. The basics are often poorly understood by the busy practitioner. This article has served as a review for clinicians wanting the basics but having neither the time nor the resources to examine large volumes of material. This information has been designed to enable the veterinarian to understand better the limitations of the tests and the difficulties encountered by the avian technician in performing the tests so important in clinical avian practice.
