to handling emergencies and an in-depth "Quick Reference" section, they
give specific instructions for preventing, diagnosing, and treating a wide

Dog
Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook
by Debra M. Eldredge DVM, Liisa D. Carlson DVM, Delbert G. Carlson
DVM, James M. Giffin MD
Hardcover from Howell Book House
ISBN: 0470067853
The classic bestseller--expanded and updated
The guide dog lovers have relied on for more than twenty-seven years,
this handbook has been extensively revised to include the latest information
on everything from canine healthcare to nutrition to holistic treatments.
Dog
Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, Fourth Edition, is the definitive
guide for every dog owner. It puts vital information at your fingertips,
with:
An index of signs and symptoms to help you find information fast
Clearly written, step-by-step directions for handling common canine
ailments and problems
A chapter on emergencies that explains what to do immediately for shock,
broken bones, burns, dehydration, heat stroke, poisoning, insect stings
and bites, wounds, and more
Hundreds of photos and drawings that illustrate what to look for and
what to do to provide the best care for your dog
A glossary of terms
With this guide, you'll know when to rush your pet to the vet and when
you can begin treatment at home. You'll communicate more effectively with
your vet. You'll have the latest information on every aspect of your dog's
medical care when you need it. This is the hands-on reference you'll trust
again and again.
Open the front cover and the first two pages you see contain the Index
of Signs and Symptoms, from Abdomen (painful, swollen, distended, and tucked
up) to Weight loss, Wheezing, and Whining (continual). There's a comprehensive
index in back, of course, running the gamut from Abortion to Zinc-Responsive
Dermatosis, which is all very useful, but when your pooch is in pain, it's
great to be able to turn, with the minimum of folderol, to the page that
says to relax, it's nothing a bit of extra grooming won't fix, or alternatively
to hightail it over to the vet hospital. It's a wonderful reference for
any dog owner, with chapters on emergencies (such as burns, dehydration,
and poisoning), as well as worms, infectious diseases, skin care, and canine
eyes, ears, and nose. There are chapters on the digestive, respiratory,
and circulatory systems, the nervous, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems,
plus dog sex, whelping, puppy pediatrics, geriatrics, and chapters on cancers
and medications. In short, it covers every health dimension a dog owner
might want to know more about, identifies the possible causes, helps you
determine the severity of the condition, and indicates what treatments
or actions to take to best insure your dog's good health. --Stephanie

Small Animal Medical Diagnoses: An Algorithmic Approach
by Charlotte Davies et al.
Book Description:
This valuable clinical tool presents an algorithmic approach to the
differential diagnosis of multiple medical presentations commonly seen
in daily veterinary practice. Problems are presented as signs, symptoms
and laboratory abnormalities to simulate the way in which a veterinarian
works toward a diagnosis. Each algorithm presumes that the first test performed
has been a thorough history and physical examination, and from this point
it relies on the use of clinical examination and diagnostic texts to progressively
narrow a larger list of diagnoses for any given problem. Common Small Animal
Medical Diagnoses offers an easy and cost-effective way to quickly rule
out possible conditions and arrive at a manageable list of differential
diagnoses.

Animal Internal Medicine
by Bradford P., Dvm. Smith
Book Description: The new, third edition of the "gold standard"
in the field has been completely revised and updated, reflecting large
animal internal medicine as it is practiced today. In a single, comprehensive
volume, it covers virtually everything the busy practitioner needs to know
on the subject. Using a problem-oriented approach to the diagnosis of diseases
of horses, cattle, sheep, and goats, it teaches readers how to diagnose
based on what they observe and what the laboratory and diagnostic tests
reveal. Complete lists of common, less common, and uncommon diseases associated
with particular signs or symptoms are given in easy-to-find boxes, and
the clinician is given an approach to each manifestation of disease and
a method to work toward a diagnosis. Readers will also find guidance on
treating problems symptomatically, a method that is commonly used in everyday
practice. In addition, interpretation of abnormalities is made easier with
complete lists of diseases associated with a given laboratory abnormality
provided in handy boxes.
