Summary:

In this comprehensive reference for veterinary students, practitioners, educators, and biomedical researchers, Washabau (veterinary medicine, U. of Minnesota) and Day (veterinary pathology, U. of Bristol, UK) outline the biology, pathobiology, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary systems in the dog and cat. Contributed by an international group of veterinary specialists, the 62 chapters focus on evidence-based patient management; explain diagnostic modalities, including lab testing, imaging, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and histopathology; discuss a pharmacologic approach and various types of drugs and interventions; and include problem-based algorithms. They begin with the biology of the gastrointestinal tract, and detail an approach to clinical signs in gastrointestinal disease, nutritional assessment and management, and specific diseases for various organs.
