Focusing on “Day 1 competencies”, this book provides practical and core information about the most common problems encountered in the small animal general practice consulting room. Prioritising what is actually common, it covers what can reasonably be achieved in a typical consultation. Material that is rarely seen in textbooks, such as “what is the low budget option?” and “when should I refer?” is also covered.
This book is all about the basic practical aspects of small animal consulting:
∗how to make a diagnosis when presented with the most common problems,
∗what treatments are really the most appropriate in general practice,
∗what should the vet actually say to the client.
A vital reference for newly qualified veterinarians during those first, and most difficult, years in general practice. Veterinary students will find it to be an invaluable revision guide in their final years of study.
