Product Description
No other quick reference comes close to providing this much accurate, timely, and clinically useful diagnostic and therapeutic information. It's like six books in one -- Diseases and Disorders, Procedures and Techniques, Differential Diagnosis, Laboratory Tests, Clinical Algorithms, and a Drug Formulary. Plus, it includes free access to a fully searchable companion website featuring an electronic version of the text, a searchable drug formulary, and 100 customizable Client Education Sheets in both English and Spanish.
- This text brings together the expertise of 21 internationally recognized authorities as contributing editors and 300 leading clinician-authors into a single, comprehensive source.
- A wealth of high-quality illustrations clearly demonstrates key concepts and procedures.
- Section I: Diseases and Disorders provides at-a-glance coverage of more than 700 common medical problems, arranged alphabetically for immediate access. Each entry presents the topic in the sequence it follows clinically, including: history and physical exam findings, diagnostic testing, treatment (including specific medications and dosages), prognosis, and recommended monitoring. References for each topic support the data presented.
- Section II: Procedures and Techniques offers illustrated, step-by-step instructions for understanding and performing 89 important clinical procedures.
- Section III: Differential Diagnosis displays nearly every possible cause for 263 different clinical disorders.
- Section IV: Laboratory Tests summarizes essential information needed for interpreting more than 150 laboratory tests.
- Section V: Clinical Algorithms provides decision trees for the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making processes involved in managing more than 90 of the most common clinical conditions/disorders.
- Section VI: Drug Formulary is a compilation of dosages and other relevant information for more than 300 new and current medications.
- A companion website includes the complete text of the book in a fully searchable format, which allows quick identification of any topic and its related information in the six different sections. The website also includes 100 customizable Client Education Sheets, each available in both English and Spanish.

I can not rate this product. So the above is in correct. I never received this product due to my not giving enough information on my company's address. But I do wish I had received an email telling me it
had been returned so that I could have ordered it again and earlier since
it was a christmas gift for my daughter-in-law. She is a vet student and needed it.
Sorry

Excellent book, but..... December 27, 2007

As a relief vet, I can't always count on a practice having all the references I need, and I can't carry an entire library with me. Clinical Vet Advisor packs lots of info into a single volume. I use this book every day. My only complaint is that the support website (a major selling point for the book)has not been working well. Content is very slow to load. Also, the text promises that client information handouts are available in Spanish as well as English, but for several weeks the Spanish handouts have been offline. The webmaster says they are working on the problem, but a webpage content problem that continues for several weeks generally means nothing is being done.
Edit: As of 2/08 the website problems have been resolved and the Spanish language handouts can be printed. This is a big deal when practicing in Southern California.

I am very impressed with this book - it was recommended to me by colleagues. I find the differential diagnoses lists especially helpful, and the online reference tool is excellent too.
Highly recommended!
A Must Have! February 27, 2007

This is a must have for any small animal veterinarian or student. It blows the "5 Minute Consult" out of the water. There is always someone using it our practice, we have just decided to leave it out on our treatment table. It's a very concise but thorough reference for everyday use. It's well organized and easy to read. 95% of the time the information we need is in there. If not, we refer to specific books on Optho, derm etc but you could practice veterinary medicine with just this book! I highly recommend it!
