People sometimes lie, but lesions seldom doAddressing field necropsy and submissions for more useful information

摘要

The objectives of the presentation are to cover efficient field necropsy techniques, sample collection, and laboratory submission to address clinical situations presented. We will discuss situational evaluation of common infectious, metabolic, and toxic conditions along with lesions (or lack thereof], and how to evaluate clinical presentation along with lesions and laboratory results to generate actionable information. Specific collection of samples from field necropsies and laboratory test requestswill be discussed, as well as the interpretive nuances of lab results. We will also cover sample handling and chain of custody for potential legal cases. What we are attempting to create is information that is interprétable and actionable.
