Beschreibung

A vital pocket-sized reference tool for busy practitioners and students, saving hours of searching through multiple sources. Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine, Second Edition brings together comprehensive differential diagnosis lists covering a wide range of presenting signs. This new edition has been fully updated with alphabetised lists for improved navigation. The lists cover the majority of presentations that are encountered in practice, including both common and uncommon conditions. * Details differential diagnoses from diverse findings such as history, physical examination, diagnostic imaging, laboratory test results and electrodiagnostic testing * Provides guidance on how common conditions are, and how commonly they are the cause of the presenting sign * Useful throughout the working day for vets in small animal practice, the information will save hours searching alternative multiple references * New co-author Kate Murphy brings her expertise as an ECVIM diplomate * For ultimate ease of use this book is also available as an app for iOS and Android devices.

Note: Polyuria and polydipsia are considered together here, since one will lead to the other, with only a few exceptions. These include polydipsia in the face of obstructive lower urinary tract disease or oliguric renal failure and polyuria which is not matched by fluid intake, in which case dehydration will rapidly follow. None of these scenarios are encountered commonly in practice. Polydipsia without polyuria can occur in situations of increased urinary loss of fluid, such as after strenuous exercise.
