The Veterinary General Practice Casebook

This book provides an engaging look into the daily life of a veterinary general practitioner. The Veterinary General Practice Casebook highlights real-life challenges and rewards.

The Veterinary General Practice Casebook offers a vivid portrayal of life within companion animal practice, structured into various ‘clinics’ that mirror a typical day for a general practitioner. Each chapter immerses readers in the fast-paced environment where emergencies are interspersed with routine consultations. The narrative showcases the unpredictability of veterinary work, emphasizing that no two days are ever the same. From a seemingly benign papilloma to a complex pyometra case, the book illustrates the diverse challenges faced by veterinarians in general practice.

This insightful text is particularly beneficial for senior veterinary students, recent graduates, and those re-entering the field. It presents real-life cases that often diverge from textbook scenarios, highlighting the messy and incomplete nature of actual veterinary work. By doing so, the Veterinary General Practice Casebook not only enhances clinical knowledge but also prepares readers for the realities of practice. Each case is enriched with discussions on wellbeing and professional practice, providing a holistic view of the veterinary profession.

Moreover, the book goes beyond clinical cases by offering practical recipes for nutritious meals, catering to the health of veterinary professionals themselves. It advocates for the recognition of general practice as a distinct specialty and celebrates the indispensable role of general practitioners in promoting animal health and welfare within their communities. This makes the Veterinary General Practice Casebook a valuable resource for anyone involved in veterinary medicine.
