Parasitology
Diagnosing external parasites is usually straightforward. Look for signs like itching, scratching, hair loss, or visible parasites. Sometimes, a closer look with a microscope or lab tests helps identify the specific critter. Internal parasites can be trickier. Fecal tests can reveal eggs or larvae, while blood tests and imaging might be needed for some infections.
