Great advances have been made recently in small animal gastroenterology.
This book has been written by authors from around the world with
a variety of backgrounds using evidence-based medicine. The book
has two main sections and the first covers the diagnosis of gastrointestinal
disorders. This section contains chapters on various different diagnostic
methods and on the most commonly observed clinical signs of gastrointestinal
disease presented in dogs and cats, acute gastrointestinal signs,
chronic vomiting, chronic diarrhea, and weight loss. The second
section of the book focuses on specific diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract. Each component of the GI tract is discussed separately with
another section focusing on diseases that affect more than one organ
of the gastrointestinal tract. The book is well referenced and fully
illustrated throughout. It is concise but detailed enough for both
veterinarians in training and in practice.
