What is neonatal isoerythrolysis?
A cat from the southern U.S. rapidly develops icterus, dyspnea, and collapse from this often fatal protozoal disease.
What is Cytauxzoon felis?

What is 30,000?
This common ferret neoplasia may be lymphocytic or lymphoblastic.
What is lymphoma?
Piglets with pallor and dyspnea (“thumps”) likely have this condition.
What is iron deficiency anemia?
