The editor and his author team of international renown have produced a landmark volume – the first fully illustrated textbook of small animal clinical medicine. While covering all the major areas of internal medicine of the dog and cat, the emphasis is on brevity and the more common disorders. The book is organised by body system, and each chapter is structured in a consistent way, providing the definition of each disorder, its causes, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnosis and management options. The practical, focused text is richly illustrated throughout by over 1,000 clinical colour photographs, imaging, diagrams and tables, and will be of lasting value to practitioners and students as a learning resource and permanent reference.
