Small Animal Medical Differential Diagnosis,
by Mark Thompson
Pages: 401
Publisher: --
Edition: 3rd., 2017
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0323498302
Description
As with the first and second editions, the lists are divided into three parts and serve as a concise guide to the differential diagnosis, etiology, laboratory abnormalities, and classification of clinical signs and medical disorders in dogs and cats. Part One contains lists based on clinical signs that may be identified by the clinician.
Part Two approaches the differential diagnosis from a systems perspective. Fifteen body systems are represented. Additionally, there is a new section in Part Two that features lists about Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) ultrasound, a relatively new concept where point-of-care, rapid ultrasound techniques are used as an extension of the physical exam in ill or injured patients.
Part Three once again is a quick reference of laboratory tests and gives typical normal ranges and differential diagnoses based on test results. Overall the book comprises approximately 430 lists, 30 of which are new to this edition. In all lists, an attempt has been made to prioritize them from least common to most common.
