BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Gastroenterology 3rd Edition
By Edward Hall, David A. Williams and Aarti Kathrani
BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Gastroenterology 3rd Edition PDF. The busy small animal practitioner is likely to see a dog or cat with GI signs most days and this resource should give them greater insight into the conditions they are treating. This manual is divided into four main sections:
Diagnostic procedures and techniques: this section covers clinical pathology, imaging and biopsy
Diagnostic approaches to problems: the chapters in this section provide a practical, diagnostic approach to problems affecting the GI tract, pancreas and liver
Patient management: this section looks at the treatments available for GI, pancreatic and liver disease.
Diseases of specific systems/organs: the chapters in this final section cover specific conditions of organs of the GI tract, including pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
