Concise, problem-oriented and accessibly designed, the second edition of the Pocket Handbook of Small Animal Medicine focuses on the essentials of medicine and surgery of the dog and cat. Packed with bullet points, flowcharts and tables for quick reference, the book helps start the process of case management and resolution. It includes tips and hints on interpretation of physical signs, diagnostic tests and management of common presenting conditions. Full colour algorithms assist decision-making, specifically in clinical presentations and critical care.

Part 1 covers an overview of basic approaches
Parts 2 and 5, 'Clinical Presentations' and 'Critical Care' present a series of algorithms intended to guide the reader from presentation to diagnosis, or to outline emergency management.
Part 3 forms the core of the book, covering - in brief - the examination, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases (including a new section on exotic infections) and disorders of each body system, as well as multisystemic disorders
Part 4 covers anaesthetics, analgesia, and surgery.

The new edition is completely updated and contains important new sections on client communication and professional conduct, mental health and wellbeing, therapeutics and common procedures.

Industry Reviews

Having used this book during my small animal medicine rotation, I shall find a way of making room for it [in my pocket]. A fantastic quick guide for those critical moments. It teaches you to think, rather than giving you lists of differentials and is jam-packed with lots of useful factual information - reference parameters, therapeutic protocols and diagnostic tests. It's a great starting point for viva revision. For new graduates and experienced clinicians alike, it offers a simple, readable reference guide to help you think through cases using a logical problem-solving framework. Novel in it's approach, I for one will be keeping it close at hand throughout my final year of vet school.
-Myfanwy Hill, Veterinary Record

Useful decision trees. A nice little handbook for medicine, providing a discussion point for graduates and their mentors and coaches in practice.
-Dr. Paul R Manning, Veterinary Practice

This is the book vet students wished they had on clinical rotations when they realise they have missed a key piece of information and need to locate it quickly.
-Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 91, No 7
