Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pathology of companion animals represents a vital field of contemporary veterinary medicine, bridging classical diagnostic methods with cutting-edge technologies and current therapeutic trends. This Special Issue of Pets, entitled “Pathology in Companion Animals—From Diagnostics to Treatment”, aims to provide a comprehensive approach to diseases in companion animals—from the early detection of pathological changes, through accurate diagnosis, to targeted treatment strategies.
The Issue presents the latest advances in diagnostic methods, including histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular tools that are revolutionizing the detection of neoplastic, inflammatory, and degenerative diseases. It also explores current progress in therapy, with particular attention to targeted treatments and individualized approaches.
The aim of this Issue is to highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between pathologists, clinicians, and laboratory diagnosticians in the care of veterinary patients. We hope the contributions gathered here will serve as a valuable source of inspiration for veterinary practitioners, researchers, and students, and will contribute to the continued development of pathology in companion animal medicine.
Prof. Dr. Stanisław Dzimira
