Moreover, this textbook emphasizes practical information through a combination of text, tables, and algorithms. Each chapter is meticulously arranged to cover definitions, clinical features, differential diagnoses, diagnostic methodologies, and treatment options. With contributions from board-certified experts, Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat serves as a valuable resource for veterinary students, general practitioners, and small animal interns, ensuring that crucial clinical information is readily accessible and easy to comprehend.
"I have a million books that I accumulated over the years and I’m giving most of them to our residents. However, I am keeping Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat. I found this to be, by far, the best clinical medicine book ever written."
Kenneth J. Drobatz, DVM, MSCE, Professor, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
Praise for previous editions
“If you are looking to purchase a single medicine textbook for your practice bookshelf, Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat is certainly worth considering. This popular text is punctuated with helpful tables, charts and useful pictures to augment the text… It would certainly be a welcome additional to any veterinary surgery looking to update its practice library.”
- Gerard McLauchlan, Veterinary Record
"Clinical Medicine of the Dog and Cat is an exceptional stand-alone reference for veterinary students, interns, new graduates, and seasoned practitioners looking to brush up on the clinical approach to common health problems of dogs and cats. What sets this resource apart from others is its user-friendly organization; the nearly 2,000 photographs, diagrams, and tables are thoughtfully placed and carefully selected to complement the text... The authors’ approach is logical and revolutionizes the way that clinical medicine is reported by limiting the information presented to that which is necessary to guide clinicians through the process of developing diagnostic and treatment plans."
- Ryane E. Englar, DVM, DABVP, Midwestern University, Glendale, Ariz, JAVMA Vol 250, No. 6, March 15, 2017
"... an excellent addition to the reference library of any small animal veterinarian."
—JAVMA
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, this beautifully illustrated text is longer than it appears!... Overall, this is a brilliantly illustrated and clearly written text for anyone with an interest in small animal medicine."
—Veterinary Record
"The strength of this textbook remains its collection of images, ranging from photographs of clinical cases to radiographs, ultrasound, cytology, ophthalmology and surgical images to detailed diagrams of surgical approaches and techniques … It is an invaluable aid to students who might not otherwise be exposed to a clinical presentation."
