Cytology in veterinary medicine is the same as cytology in human medicine - it is the study of cells, generally viewed through microscopes, to determine the presence of and defining characteristics of disease in a patient. In veterinary medicine, cytology can be roughly divided into two segments, although a single veterinarian can, and often does, do both. One side is blood-based cytology, specifically focusing on the red and white blood cells. The other side is 'unknown mass' cytology, specifically focusing on determining what type of cells are in an unknown solid mass, which is often a tumorous or cancerous mass.

In order to get into vet school you must complete the pre-veterinary requirements and most likey you will need a bachelor's degree in some field.
