Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Complex canine and feline cases rarely stay inside one organ system. A weak patient may also be anemic, dehydrated, painful, and affected by treatment.A surprising laboratory result may reflect disease, timing, specimen quality, or method. The safest plan begins by representing the whole problem clearly.Small Animal Internal Medicine is a practical, system-based clinical reference for veterinarians, interns, senior veterinary students, and veterinary technicians. It organizes common presentations around the decisions that matter at the point of care: stabilization, localization, diagnostic testing, interpretation, treatment monitoring, reassessment, and handoff.Inside, readers will find: - Twenty chapters spanning emergency assessment, fluids and electrolytes, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, renal, endocrine, hematologic, immune-mediated, infectious, neurologic, dermatologic, oncologic, musculoskeletal, ophthalmic, reproductive, neonatal, geriatric, and integrated case management- Practical frameworks for distinguishing a detected abnormality from the disease actually causing the patient's signs- Evidence checks for specimen quality, laboratory interpretation, imaging, therapeutic trials, and discordant results- Premium two-color tables, clinical safety panels, and verification moments designed for rapid navigation- Reusable clinical worksheets for monitoring, medication reconciliation, diagnostic evidence, referral, emergency transfer, home observation, and quality-of-life discussionsThe book emphasizes durable clinical habits rather than fixed recipes. It contains no patient-specific prescribing instructions and directs readers to current formularies, laboratory-specific reference intervals, current guidelines, specialist input, and qualified veterinary judgment where they belong.Use it to build a clearer problem representation, choose tests that serve a decision, measure benefit and harm, and keep every care transition connected.
