Riassunto

A harmless-looking papilloma on Monday morning, a fitting Bulldog on Wednesday afternoon, a pyometra last thing on Friday – The Veterinary General Practice Casebook echoes life at the coalface of companion animal practice. Organised into ‘clinics’, each chapter feels like a day in the life of a busy general practitioner, where emergencies are juggled with routine consultations and every so often something unexpected pops up.

Ideal for senior veterinary students, new graduates, those returning to practice, and those seeking a general practice workout, this book presents cases as they appear in real life, often messier and less complete than textbook descriptions. The clinical content is complemented by topics on wellbeing and professional practice, as well as recipes for simple and nutritious meals to feed veterinary body and soul.

This book makes a persuasive argument for general practice as a speciality in its own right and celebrates the role of general practice veterinarians and their vital contribution to animal health and welfare in the community.
