Yes, the cells burst, so there ARE some tests that can be run,
but much of the data winds up being lost. That means that if
there is already a lead on what when wrong and enough of the
needed testing can be done despite burst cells then that can
still be useful, but otherwise too much data is lost.
There are some really great past posts from ferret expert
veterinary pathologist, Dr. Bruce Williams, on this topic in
the separate FHL Archives (which FHL co-owner, Pam Sessoms
makes available with Eric Sessoms also helping the FHL by
working on them):
