[Histonet] Bone Marrow Biopsies

[Cheryl Crowder]

Hi all - I have a residen whose research will include doing bone marrow 
biopsies.  Could someone help me with protocols for bone marrows.  Vet Med 
here does not routinely do bone marrows and the results are spotty.  What I 
am looking for is what you do at the point of biopsy, as make smears, fix 
some, etc., what fixative do you use, do you decal the BM and in what?  All 
that "stuff".  If anyone can help me, it would probably be better to e-mail 
me directly.  Thank you,
Cheryl
