Product Description
No other quick reference comes close to providing this much accurate, timely, and clinically useful diagnostic and therapeutic information. It's like six books in one -- Diseases and Disorders, Procedures and Techniques, Differential Diagnosis, Laboratory Tests, Clinical Algorithms, and a Drug Formulary. Plus, it includes free access to a fully searchable companion website featuring an electronic version of the text, a searchable drug formulary, and 100 customizable Client Education Sheets in both English and Spanish.
- This text brings together the expertise of 21 internationally recognized authorities as contributing editors and 300 leading clinician-authors into a single, comprehensive source.
- A wealth of high-quality illustrations clearly demonstrates key concepts and procedures.
- Section I: Diseases and Disorders provides at-a-glance coverage of more than 700 common medical problems, arranged alphabetically for immediate access. Each entry presents the topic in the sequence it follows clinically, including: history and physical exam findings, diagnostic testing, treatment (including specific medications and dosages), prognosis, and recommended monitoring. References for each topic support the data presented.
- Section II: Procedures and Techniques offers illustrated, step-by-step instructions for understanding and performing 89 important clinical procedures.
- Section III: Differential Diagnosis displays nearly every possible cause for 263 different clinical disorders.
- Section IV: Laboratory Tests summarizes essential information needed for interpreting more than 150 laboratory tests.
- Section V: Clinical Algorithms provides decision trees for the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making processes involved in managing more than 90 of the most common clinical conditions/disorders.
- Section VI: Drug Formulary is a compilation of dosages and other relevant information for more than 300 new and current medications.
- A companion website includes the complete text of the book in a fully searchable format, which allows quick identification of any topic and its related information in the six different sections. The website also includes 100 customizable Client Education Sheets, each available in both English and Spanish.

 A Must Have! February 27, 2007
Christopher Rocchio (Albany, New York)
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is a must have for any small animal veterinarian or student. It blows the "5 Minute Consult" out of the water. There is always someone using it our practice, we have just decided to leave it out on our treatment table. It's a very concise but thorough reference for everyday use. It's well organized and easy to read. 95% of the time the information we need is in there. If not, we refer to specific books on Optho, derm etc but you could practice veterinary medicine with just this book! I highly recommend it!
Excellent resource May 28, 2007

I am very impressed with this book - it was recommended to me by colleagues. I find the differential diagnoses lists especially helpful, and the online reference tool is excellent too.
Highly recommended!

This is an outstanding reference for a general veterinary practice. The client handouts, available in english and spanish, are clearly written and very valuable tools in client education. The book is well organized and the CD so easy to search. I think both new grads and "seasoned" practitioners will find this helpful in everyday practice. It is absolutely worth the already reasonable price.
Very useful January 11, 2009

This book is great. Way better than the 5 Minute Vet COnsult. More organized and gives differentials for lab abnormalitites and much more too. Highly recommended for any vet student or doc.
my favorite reference book September 10, 2009
Elsie
I love this book! My favorite section is the "Procedures and Techniques" section. Has alot of procedures and walks you through them step by step telling you all the equipment you will need, what can go wrong and how to avoid it, with pictures as well. The Diseases and disorders section is great too with a quick almost everything you need to know about a disease in about 1 page. These are the parts I have used the most, but the other sections seem great too. Clinical algorithms are great for helping you figure out how to work up something properly. I am SO glad I bought this book!
