🔬 Ever wonder what ultrasound gel looks like cytologically? This deeply basophilic amorphous material is ultrasound gel artifact! Too much of this and it can be hard to read a cytology sample.

✨ Happy New Year - 2026 ✨

As we start a new year, I want to sincerely thank the veterinarians, technicians, and clinic teams who trusted Rocky Mountain Veterinary Clinical Pathology over the past year. Your support, collaboration, and thoughtful case discussions are what make this work so rewarding.

Independent diagnostic services exist because of relationships — clear communication, shared clinical goals, and mutual trust. I’m grateful for every case submitted, every question asked, and every opportunity to support patient care.

If you’re a clinic that’s considering a new cytology or diagnostic pathology partner in 2026 — or simply want to learn more about how we work — please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through services, turnaround times, or how we might support your practice.

Wishing everyone a healthy, successful, and fulfilling year ahead. 🐾 🔬

Great example of why looking at a blood smear is so important!
🔬Things that would've been missed if a blood smear wasn't evaluated in this case:
🩸Abundant spherocytes and ghost red blood cells
🩸20% nucleated red blood cells, misclassified by the instrument as lymphocytes --- which caused a false lymphocytosis on the automated CBC. Lymphocytes are actually decreased in this patient
🩸Left shifting and toxicity within the neutrophil series - signifying an inflammatory leukogram

Pretty images from a suspected keloidal fibrosarcoma. Eosinophilic bundles of hyalinized collagen were scattered throughout (classic for keloidal lesions) with many slender spindle cells that exhibited mild to occasionally moderate pleomorphism and rare binucleation. Histopathologic evaluation was recommended for further assessment and differentiation between a keloidal fibroma and keloidal fibrosarcoma.
