Pocket-sized and concise, Small Animal Medical Differential Diagnosis: A Book of Lists, 4th Edition, is the essential reference to facilitate rapid diagnosis of medical problems in dogs and cats. This portable, manageable guide covers the differential diagnosis, etiology, clinical signs, and relevant laboratory abnormalities of the most common conditions you will encounter in small animal practice. Historical, clinical, and laboratory findings for many of these diseases are also included in a separate section. Small Animal Medical Differential Diagnosis facilitates reliable point-of-care decisions, providing instant access to the critical data you need to make accurate diagnoses and enabling effective, focused treatment planning. With new lists and an eBook included with print purchase, this is the reference no small animal practice should be without!
