The user-friendly format provides instant access to vital information, making it an ideal resource in emergency situations. Includes a section dedicated to the clinical evaluation of patients using both organized body systems and problems list approaches. It also offers guidance on clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory tests, diagnosis, and treatment. Offers a wealth of proven, successful methods for recognizing and treating emergency problems, as well as core information for everyday practice. Provides essential information for the rapid assessment of patients and treatment planning. Coverage includes practical advice and solutions; how to examine the small animal patient, using a body systems and problems list approach; and a review of basic diagnostic procedures used in daily practice. Offers helpful recommendations for accurate and complete medical records management to help ensure quality care and legal compliance.
