Abstract

No other quick reference comes close in covering the diagnosis and treatment of hundreds of diseases in dogs and cats. Etienne Cote's Clinical Veterinary Advisor: Dogs and Cats, 2nd Edition is like six books in one -- with concise topics within sections on diseases and disorders, procedures and techniques, differential diagnosis, laboratory tests, clinical algorithms, and a drug formulary. Revised from cover to cover, this edition includes dozens of new topics. It also includes free access to a fully searchable companion website featuring an electronic version of the text, all of the book's images, a searchable drug formulary, and 150 Client Education Sheets in both English and Spanish.

  • Section I: Diseases and Disorders provides at-a-glance coverage of nearly 800 common medical problems, arranged alphabetically for immediate access. Entries include a definition, synonyms, epidemiology, clinical presentation, etiology and pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, workup, treatment, prognosis and outcome, plus pearls and considerations. Concise descriptions simplify diagnosis and treatment.
  • Section II: Procedures and Techniques offers illustrated, step-by-step instructions for understanding and performing 111 important clinical procedures.
  • Section III: Differential Diagnosis displays nearly every possible cause for 260 different clinical disorders.
  • Section IV: Laboratory Tests summarizes essential information needed for interpreting more than 150 lab tests.
  • Section V: Clinical Algorithms provides decision trees for the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making processes involved in managing 91 of the most common clinical conditions/disorders.
  • Section VI: Drug Formulary is a compilation of dosages and other relevant information for more than 300 new and current medications.
  • 410 illustrations and photographs depict disease processes and related concepts.
  • A companion website includes the complete text of the book in a fully searchable format, allowing quick access to information, and all of the book's images. It also includes 150 Client Education Sheets, each available in both English and Spanish.
  • Clinical guidance added to diseases and disorders chapters helps you select appropriate tests and treatments for each case.
  • 50 new client "how-to" handouts are added for a total of 150 client education sheets, helping to improve outcomes by informing clients.
  • Technician Tips are inserted throughout nearly 800 diseases and disorders, providing specialized information for veterinary technicians.
  • Enhanced electronic image collection on the companion website includes color images and additional figures not found in the text.
