Small Animal Medicine and Metabolic Disorders

Nearly 20 years after Bryn Tennant's first edition, this new update covers all aspects of diseases and disorders affecting organs of the abdominal cavity and the endocrine/metabolic system in a case-based format. Responding to advances in imaging technology, digital radiography, and high-resolution ultrasonography, as well as the growth in specialised diagnostic tests for many diseases, new editor Craig Ruaux brings together a wide variety of new cases.

These cases cover a wide spectrum of metabolic, endocrine, immune-mediated, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. They range in difficulty from simple bacterial infections to complex, multisystem disorders that would challenge most practitioners. Presented in random order, as they would appear in everyday practice, each author brings their own specialist expertise and experience to problem identification and management.

Small Animal Medicine and Metabolic Disorders includes over 150 new, colour illustrated cases. It covers all aspects of diseases and disorders affecting organs of the abdominal cavity and the endocrine/metabolic system, written by experts from the USA, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

Presenting an assortment of cases and case-related materials appropriate to the day-to-day practice of small animal medicine, this book will be an essential reference for veterinary students of internal medicine as well as specialists in training.
