[Histonet] rat vaginal smears

[Della Speranza, Vinnie]

You didn't indicate what you will be evaluating but your request is reminiscent of the work George Papanicolau did with guinea pigs. Have you considered the pap stain? 

Here is a link that will provide a lot of information if this stain is of interest

I like to think of the pap stain as a 'suped up' H&E

Does anyone have a protocol for staining rat vaginal smears with H&E?
