Clinical Signs in Small Animal Medicine

Michael Schaer, DVM DipACVIM ACVECC
Professor, Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, USA

The author is one of the world's leading veterinary clinicians and instructors. Following the acclaim for his ground-breaking textbook Clinical Medicine of the Dog & Cat, Dr Schaer has selected for his new book over 400 clinical cases representing the distilled wisdom and experience of his career in practice and as a university teacher.

The cases, grouped broadly by subject, are presented by means of over 800 colour photographs of the highest quality, plus detailed captions focusing on key pointers to diagnosis and treatment.

The underlying, yet unspoken, theme of the book is that the clinician's eye, thought processes and judgement will always be central to successful clinical practice. Clinical Signs in Small Animal Medicine is a veterinary treasure-house for all involved in medicine of the dog and cat—practitioners, instructors, trainees, students.
