Whatโ€™s ๐Ÿถ Stashโ€™s ๐Ÿพ Story ๐Ÿ“–?

A LUMP CHECK in HIS NECK! ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

A LUMP here can be caused by infection or inflammation or even cancer ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

@drboazman explains the meaning ๐Ÿค” of the saying โ€œDONโ€™T WAIT ๐Ÿ—“ ASPIRATE ๐Ÿ’‰ โ€œ

Thanks to ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป digital ๐Ÿ”ฌ cytology we can now PROVE this lump has NO evidence of CANCER within minutes ๐Ÿ’จ ! @idexx @idexxlab @fetchdvm360

This reduces the stress for Pet Parents who worry ๐Ÿ˜ฑ about their beloved fur babies ! #fastturnaroundโ€‹

The cytology test (microscopic interpretation of cells) has been truly revolutionized ! After aspirating a lump with a fine needle ๐Ÿ’‰ the cytology slides are made for a๐Ÿ”ฌinterpretation by a pathologist. #veterinarypathologyโ€‹

In the past we had to wait ๐Ÿ“† for a lab courier ๐Ÿš™ to pick the slides up, have them โœˆ๏ธ to a reference lab facility, then wait ๐Ÿค” for the ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ pathologist ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ to be assigned to read ๐Ÿ‘€ them, & finally receive a cytology report!

This process went from ๐Ÿ—“ days to minutes โฐ & has enabled our team to act faster ๐Ÿ’จ than ever without having to wait ๐Ÿค” on test results! This means we can have patients like Stash see an oncologist or a surgeon the same day we evaluate the lump if needed!

Our in house high definition ๐Ÿ”ฌ images are easily manipulated on the large touch screen ๐Ÿ“บ while we wait a few minutes to read the cytology report online ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #veterinarymedicineโ€‹๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ’Š

Digital ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป ๐Ÿ”ฌ Cytology = Truly Amazing ! #digitalcytologyโ€‹ #telecytologyโ€‹
