Veterinary clinical examination and diagnosis

The ability to perform a good clinical examination is an essential tool that the practicing veterinarian must possess.

Written by leading experts in small and large animal medicine and edited by cattle, equine and small animal experts, this new book provides all the information required to perform a thorough clinical examination of all small and large species, and of all organ systems.

Initial chapters on restraint and handling and information gathering set the scene for the chapters on assessment of individual organ systems, giving the reader all they need to know to reach an accurate diagnosis of all clinical conditions.

Handy clinical pointer boxes highlight key clinical information, and many tables and text boxes list important information in an easily-accessible format.

Liberally illustrated with over 240 black and white prints, 38 colour prints and 150 line illustrations, "Veterinary Clinical Examination and Diagnosis" gives you all the tools you need to examine your patients and reach an accurate diagnosis.
