Summary:

"Hundreds of step-by-step procedures, countless updates, one comprehensive guide to mastering all aspects of small animal internal medicine. With its easy-to-follow guidance, vivid depictions, and practical clinical emphasis, Small Animal Internal Medicine, Sixth Edition, offers the foundation and tools you need to properly recognize, diagnose, and treat small animals with common internal conditions. Each section of the text takes a problem-oriented approach that begins with a discussion of clinical signs, diagnostic recommendations, and techniques; and then moves to therapeutic considerations and management. One new chapter covers the area of neonatology. Extensive updates throughout the text keep you informed of all changes and evolutions in the field, specifically in the areas of ultrasound; probiotics; obesity; feline radiation therapy; feline diabetes; feline hyperthyroidism; canine influenza; canine Cushing's disease; orphan puppy and kitten considerations; seizure treatments; spinal cord disorders; hematology and oncology; plus new diseases, diagnostics, and therapeutics that affect small animal medicine overall. Helpful text resources include up-to-date drug and treatment tables, more than 900 full-color photographs and illustrations, color-coded summary boxes, practical algorithms, suggested readings, expert author guidance, and more."--taken from back cover.
