Description
This is the most current and up-to-date book on practical veterinary medicine available! The concise and easy-to-use format allows for quick and easy access to information. Each chapter follows the same format allowing for rapid reference to the various subjects and information required. The three co-editors ensure that consistency in style and format continues throughout the different sections and between contributors. Consistent coverage of each disorder lets you know exactly what information is provided and where to find it. Sections include definition, cause(s), pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring. Primarily organised by body system, this thoroughly updated reference features a wide range of disorders, including Cardiovascular, Neurologic, Reproductive, Dermatologic, Diseases of the Ear and Eye, Nutritional, Environmental Injuries, and more. Valuable appendices include an expanded, easy-to-use drug formulary that is cross-referenced to relevant chapters. Plus, appendices on normal values, apothecary measures and equivalents, and recommended vaccination procedures are also included.
