Javier,

I am NOT a Pathologist, but for the last three years have been providing
demonstrations of digital pathology equipment to pathologists across the
world.  I have left that position and opened a consulting company, Image
Incyte, LLC.

I only saw bone samples a few times in my multiple demos.  What I do recall
though is: Errors in animal treatments have been identified by
characteristic tetracycline rings on bones - meaning that you do not have
to specifically stain for tetracycline, it shows up on it's own.  I believe
that the drug is actually incorporated whole in the bone and shows up with
distinctive fluorescence.

I found this note:

on the Wikipedia page for tetracycline:

I hope that helps you get started on your search.
