Riassunto

This book focuses on the clinically relevant aspects of the most commonly encountered internal medical problems confronting practicing veterinarians. The book has been hailed for its emphasis on diagnostic approaches to clinical signs, diagnostics techniques, general therapeutics, and synopses of important disorders. It teaches students and practitioners critical thinking and decision-making skills rather than merely offering a "laundry list" of disorders.

The book contains 98 chapters in 13 sections. The first 10 sections cover specific disorders by system, while the last two sections pertain to oncology, hematology and immunology, and infectious diseases. Each section is developed by one author, which promotes consistency. Each section begins with discussions on clinical signs related to the respective organ system followed by diagnostic techniques and appropriate treatment.

The extensive use of color illustrations, tables, and algorithms sets this book apart from others in the field. The book is liberally illustrated and contains hundreds of summary tables and boxes on clinical signs, causes, drug information, and other treatment modalities. The four-color format provides visual appeal and clarifies the different types of tables.
