The Consulting Veterinary Nurse is an invaluable guide for veterinary nurses running clinics and providing consultation. It covers the basics of setting up and marketing a clinic alongside the essential knowledge of the assessments, conditions, and issues required by a consulting veterinary nurse. Topics include nutrition, chronic illnesses, behavioral issues, lifestage clinics, and medical clinics for a full range of conditions from mobility and dental problems to epilepsy and cancer.
The Consulting Veterinary Nurse, 2nd Edition provides coverage of a wealth of new advances in veterinary medicine since the prior edition, exploring the normalization of telemedicine, novel diets, chemical castration and updates to the code of professional conduct. A notable addition is a new chapter on surgical clinics that discusses wound management, post-operative appointments, neutering, and other services delegated to the veterinary nurse.
