==Other animals (necropsy)== [[File:Enzootic pneumonia ewe.jpg|thumb|A field post-mortem exam of an ewe (female [[sheep]])]] A post-mortem examination, or '''necropsy''', is far more common in [[veterinary medicine]] than in [[Medicine|human medicine]]. For many species that exhibit few external symptoms (sheep), or that are not suited to detailed clinical examination (poultry, cage birds, zoo animals), it is a common method used by [[veterinary physician]]s to come to a diagnosis. A necropsy is mostly used like an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The entire body is examined at the gross visual level, and samples are collected for additional analyses.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://uac.arizona.edu/necropsy|title=Necropsy|publisher=University Animal Care, The University of Arizona|language=en|access-date=2017-02-06|archive-date=7 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170207113037/https://uac.arizona.edu/necropsy|url-status=dead}}</ref>
