Excerpt from The Clinical Pathology of the Blood of Domesticated Animals That the examination of the blood has not been more generally used by veterinarians is partly due to the lack of accessible data concerning the blood of animals. There is a real need of a text book that will place this material within the reach of practitioners and students. It is true that but few data have been collected concerning the blood of animals compared with the amount known regarding the blood of man. Some work has, however, been done and the results obtained are of more value than their mere amount would indicate, because from the studies made of the condition of the blood in diseased animals we have learned that similar pathological processes produce, in general, changes in the blood similar to those produced by such processes in man. So the rich results obtained in human practice are made available to the veterinary practitioner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
