The preserved tissues are examined microscopically by the pathologist and resident to detect disease conditions. Tissue samples are preserved for microscopic examination, and other samples are taken to detect bacteria, fungi, viruses or toxins if infection or toxicity is suspected. Each animal is carefully examined externally for any abnormalities and then each organ is examined for evidence of disease. The necropsy pathologists conduct post-mortem examinations on VMTH patients while teaching veterinary students necropsy techniques and training resident veterinarians in pathology. Additionally, specialized necropsies for VMTH patients may incur a fee to the client. Veterinarians should contact the service office for current pricing information at 53 or do not routinely perform necropsies on outside cases. They can submit the biopsy to us for processing and will be our “referring veterinarian.” We will interact with them on your behalf regarding the processing and results of your pet’s biopsy. If you are not a VMTH client and wish to have your pet’s biopsy processed here, you must go through your primary veterinarian. Owners may not submit their pet’s biopsies. These findings guide the clinician’s decision for appropriate treatment for the animal and are the basis for the prognosis given to the client.Īll biopsy samples must be submitted by a veterinarian. The pathologist and resident examine the tissues microscopically and prepare a biopsy report that includes a description of their findings and their interpretation as to what disease condition these findings represent. The tissues are preserved and then prepared for microscopic examination. (in-house or mail-in) The biopsy pathologists examine tissues removed from live animals during surgery or endoscopy to determine the disease conditions present. NOTE: All requests/submissions/communications MUST come from a veterinarian. We enjoy many opportunities to increase the knowledge of the local communities by participating in activities such as open houses and Picnic Day, as well as inviting aspiring young students to learn about becoming veterinarians through programs like UC Davis' Future Days and the Early Academic Outreach Program’s Veterinary Medicine Exploration Academy. We are always in the teaching and educational mode at the Anatomic Pathology Service. Kennedy Fund to help graduate and resident training programs with the Anatomic Pathology Service. If you are interested in supporting the Anatomic Pathology Service, we encourage you to contribute to the Peter C. Both biopsy and necropsy cases provide valuable teaching material and advance veterinary medicine by contributing new knowledge to help unlock the hidden mysteries of the diseases of animals. Biopsies are examined to determine the nature of the disease so that appropriate treatment can be administered. Deceased animals are examined grossly and microscopically to determine the cause of death and characterize other underlying diseases. We see species of all types and sizes, from tarantulas to elephants.
The Anatomic Pathology Service includes highly qualified, board-certified pathologists and residents in one of the nation’s largest veterinary anatomic pathology residency programs.
