On first publication Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat was hailed by the market and reviewers as a ground breaking work being the first fully illustrated textbook of small animal clinical medicine. The first edition was extremely successful. In this major revision, the coverage and world class author team have been further enriched by the addition of new chapters on Immunology, Nutrition, Fluid Therapy, Pain Management and Clinical Toxicology.
While covering all the major areas of internal medicine of the dog and cat, the emphasis is on brevity and the more common disorders. The book is organised by body system, and each chapter is structureed in a consistent way, providing the definition of each disorder, its causes, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnosis and management options. The practical, focused text is richly illustrated throughout by 1,505 clinical colour photographs, imaging, diagrams and tables (450 additional pictures to the first edition). It will be of lasting value to practitioners and students as a learning resource and permanent reference.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The strength of this textbook remains its collection of images, ranging from photographs of clinical cases to radiographs, ultrasound, cytology, ophthalmology and surgical images to detailed diagrams of surgical approaches and techniques. … It is an invaluable aid to students who might not otherwise be exposed to a clinical presentation … providing real clinical examples.” ―Journal of Small Animal Practice, October 2013
“If a picture is worth a thousand words, this beautifully illustrated text is longer than it appears! … a nice text for students and practitioners… immediately useful to clinicians… Overall, this is a brilliantly illustrated and clearly written text for anyone with an interest in small animal medicine.” ―Veterinary Record, June 2010
“…should appeal to a wide range of readers, from veterinary students to new graduates and even to established practitioners. The organisation of this book is excellent. There is a succinct but comprehensive coverage of every disease… excellent clinical photographs… would be an excellent addition to the reference library of any small animal veterinarian.” ―Paul B Bloom, JAVMA, September 2010
