Get ahead with VETAHEAD and join Dr. Laila Proença™ on 15 minutes of ZooMed (exotic animal medicine) content. Think all blood tubes are created equal? Think again. Today, we’re diving into a study that settles one of reptile medicine’s most overlooked debates — should you be using EDTA or heparin for CBCs in your bearded dragon patients?
Turns out, heparin might be sabotaging your counts — lowering WBCs, wrecking cell morphology, and leaving you with unreadable smears (yikes). EDTA? It’s the MVP you didn’t know you needed. Join Dr. Proença for a deep dive into how one simple change can level up your diagnostics and prevent you from missing infections, inflammation, and more. Because even tiny dragons deserve accurate bloodwork. Listen now — your CBCs will thank you!
