Description - BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Gastroenterologysecond Edition by Edward Hall
Building on the success of the previous edition, the BSAVA Manual
of Canine and Feline Gastroenterology, 2nd edition incorporates not
only the new information available since the original publication
but also additional chapters on diagnostic techniques and
presenting complaints.
Part 1 considers diagnostic techniques, with chapters on the
approach to a gastrointestinal case, laboratory evaluation,
imaging, endoscopy, immunology and biopsy. The completely new
chapter on imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and
pancreas covers in detail the modalities most frequently employed
in small animal practice, namely radiography and ultrasonography,
whilst also briefly discussing more advanced techniques of Doppler
and harmonic ultrasonography, scintigraphy, CR and MRI.
The short chapters in Part 2 provide a practical approach to
investigating presenting complaints: dysphagia and regurgitation;
vomiting; acute and chronic diarrhoea; malabsorption; GI
haemorrhage; dyschezia and tenesmus; jaundice; hepatic
encephalopathy and infectious diseases. All follow the same basic
format: outlining the clinical features, ranking the differential
diagnoses in order of importance, and providing step-by-step
algorithms for diagnosis.
The more traditional organ-based systems approach in Part 3 has
been expanded from the previous edition to include chapters on
disorders of the oral cavity, perineum and anus, and biliary
system. Each chapter is presented in a similar style, starting with
a brief description of relevant anatomy and physiology, then
detailing diagnostic tests, and concluding with a discussion of the
disorders that can be encountered, including their treatment.
The completely new final part contains chapters devoted to critical
care, assisted feeding techniques, and an overview of
therapeutics.
The chapters, written by a host of international authors, all
experts in their field, are accompanied throughout by full colour
illustrations.
