Not missing any details

Last week Ashley (our licensed vet tech) was able to diagnose by microscope a case of Sarcoptic Mange on a pet.  This was "exciting" since mange is an especially difficult skin condition to diagnose and often takes a half-dozen or more scrapings to diagnose positively.  It is important to find and treat since it is easily spread and can also be spread to humans.  We have a medical article explaining the causes of mange on our website here: http://www.family-vet.com/index.php?view=pageView&pageid=100001229
 
Great job Ashley!
