Emergency Procedures for the Small Animal Veterinarian Second Edition provides all of the information needed to form a diagnosis quickly and accurately, establish a prognosis, and recommend treatment for a patient suffering an illness, injury or toxic event.
This is a different book; much better. Tiny letters, no drawings, 574 pages, information on virtually every emergency you can think of. And good information, right to the point, no words wasted. It reviews 99 emergency syndromes in dogs or cats, 40 intoxications, and emergencies in 14 different exotic pets (including fish). Every item includes at least diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, and has all the details and alternatives that you may need in an emergency situation. There is a certain amount of repetition but this allows one to use any chapter with complete independence from the others (that is what you want in an emergency). Not all syndromes may be real emergencies, but all need some quick medical response, and this books makes them easier and better.
Almost every day someone in the practice grabs this book from the shelf and invariably it contains the information they require. It is practical, accurate and concise; not much point in an emergency book which takes 20 pages to cover each topic! It lives in the real world repeatedly pointing out that it might be advisable to inform clients about cost and prognosis before going ahead with risky and expensive procedures. And there is so much more than emergency procedures in here -lists of drug dosages, brief overviews of exotic animals, fomulae- and every topic in short sharp style.
