Clinical Canine and Feline Respiratory Medicine
provides reliable information on the diagnosis and management of
respiratory disease in a user-friendly format. With an emphasis on
the features of the history and physical examination that aid in
efficient diagnostic planning, the book is an accessible, readable
resource for optimizing treatment of patients with diseases of the
respiratory tract. Offering comprehensive, accessible coverage
of respiratory disorders, Clinical Canine and Feline
Respiratory Medicine is a useful practice guide and study
aid for general practitioners and veterinary students.
Beginning with introductory chapters on the localization of
disease, diagnostics, and therapeutics, the heart of the book
focuses on the full range of respiratory diseases, including nasal
disorders, diseases of airways, parenchymal diseases, pleural and
mediastinal diseases, and vascular disorders. Each chapter
takes a common format with diseases subdivided by etiology into
structural, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders.
Clinical Canine and Feline Respiratory Medicine is a
useful tool for students and practitioners engaged in studying,
diagnosing, and treating respiratory disease.
