Editorial Reviews

"(...) The question-and-answer approach provides a concise way of covering a large amount of information. (...) Overall, I found this an easy book to dip in and out of. (...) It provides a useful starting point for clinical discussion or further reading. To this end, further references are provided at the end of each section to those who wish to delve further. The book is almost pocket-sized, very practical in its approach and would be a useful resource for veterinary students and busy vets in practice as a point of quick reference."

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Chantal A Imbs, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: This book provides useful questions and answers on common canine internal medicine topics in a concise, user-friendly format.
Purpose: This is a quick reference to the essentials of canine medicine. It is a much-needed resource to answer questions that are discussed during rounds or are on examinations.
Audience: This is an appropriate source of information for students and practicing clinicians. Although it is not meant to replace the detail provided in textbooks, it proffers essential practical information by expert contributors.
Features: Not intended to be all inclusive, the book may serve as a study guide. Relevant information about general topics like infectious diseases or polysystemic problems is also provided. Moreover, a thorough, detailed index enables quick and easy access to the desired topics.
Assessment: As in other books in the Secrets series, using a question-answer format and written by experienced authors, this book offers practical, real-word and concise information about various internal medicine topics. The black-and-white illustrations are a weak point. However, the book presents a logical and efficient way to handle clinical problems. It provides key information and answers most of the basic questions in internal medicine.
