101 Veterinary Practice Management Questions Answered

By Amanda L. Donnelly

101 Veterinary Practice Management Questions Answered Book PDF. Managing a veterinary practice today is no easy task. Medical care is more specialized and advanced, clients are more educated, and the workplace has become more diverse. The need for strong leadership and management has never been greater, no matter what size your practice may be. No one has all the answers, but when you take the combined knowledge of hundreds of veterinary practice managers, you have all the basics you need to create a practice the clients want to visit and people want to work for. AAHA Press did just that. We asked practice managers from across the veterinary community to weigh in with their most pressing questions, and we’ve gathered responses and advice from the field to address these issues. The result is 101 Veterinary Practice Management Questions Answered, a handy reference filled with smart, practical ideas and suggestions for practice managers of all levels.

Facilitates learning by offering a procedural approach that clearly and concisely explains techniques utilized in the field.
Speaks to a wide range of learner abilities; covering basic procedures like haltering horses or cleaning stalls to advanced procedures such as IV catheters, nasogastric intubation, biopsy and abdominocentesis.
Explains the purpose of each technique to help learners understand how to accomplish a successful outcome for the patient.
Prepares learners with the tools required to successfully complete procedures, including equipment lists and a review of potential complications.
Offers reference materials in the Appendices that provide standard stats, husbandry information, vaccination requirements, and common terminology utilized in the field.
New detailed procedures related to the care of sheep and current information on each animal keeps learners apprised of the latest techniques in large animal practice.
Expanded coverage on handling dairy cattle during physical examination includes a new step-by-step explanation for operating a stanchion.
Extended coverage of sample collection includes a new step-by-step explanation on urethal catherization of the goat for the purposes of urinalysis.
Current information related to horses includes a new detailed explanation for microchip (RFID) implanation for clients who prefer a permanent, positive method of identification.
Additional full-color photos define and clarify procedures while depicting current equipment and techniques utilized in the field.

Avian Medicine and Surgery in Practice: Companion and Aviary Birds, Second Edition

By Bob Doneley

Avian Medicine and Surgery In Practice Companion and Aviary Birds PDF is an invaluable quick reference resource for clinicians and a useful study guide for veterinary students. Early chapters cover physical examination, advice on interpreting diagnostic tests, and avian anatomy and physiology. Disorders affecting the different body regions and systems make up the majority of the book from the external—skin, feathers, eyes, legs and feet—to the internal including the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system. Further aspects of avian medicine discussed in the book include behavioural problems, incubation of eggs, paediatrics and surgery.Written by an expert with more than 30 years of clinical experience in avian medicine, the new edition is thoroughly revised with updated diseases, new and expanded clinical techniques, and over 100 new color illustrations. It also adds four important new chapters: Husbandry, Grooming and Nutrition, Diagnostic Imaging, Endoscopy, and Oncology as well as new sections on cardiovascular anatomy and neuroanatomy.

Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology

By Chris Vinyard, Matthew J. Ravosa and Christine Wall

Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology PDF. Primates have unusual heads among mammals. Their big brains, relatively short faces and forward-facing eyes are part of a unique combination of traits that have captured the interest of biological anthropologists for decades. Describing the patterns of primate craniofacial evolution as well as sorting out the functional consequences of this evolutionary history has been fundamental in developing our current understanding of primates. Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology surveys current research on primate heads emphasizing the recent progress and diversity of functional studies into primate and mammalian craniofacial form. Much of the work included in this volume was inspired by William L. Hylander and his life-long contribution to research on primate craniofacial form and function.
