Digital Cytology
At Avenue Animal Wellness + Emergency our veterinarians will offer to do cytology if your pet has a skin infection, ear infection, or masses in order to more accurately diagnose the problem. To identify bacteria, fungi, mites, or to determine the types of cells that make up a tissue or mass, cytologists collect samples of cells from the area of interest and examine them under a microscope.
The pathologist who does the secondary examination for your pet may advise it in order to corroborate the cytology findings.
