Tailored Testing: Navigating Breed-Specific Blood Work Variations (NYVET2025)

Presented by Peter Chapman

This session will examine how genetic and physiologic differences influence hematologic and biochemical values across breeds. Through interactive case discussions, attendees will learn to recognize normal variations, differentiate benign findings from true pathology, and interpret laboratory results in context. The focus will be on improving diagnostic accuracy, avoiding unnecessary testing, and enhancing individualized patient care through breed-aware interpretation.
