Feline Emergency and Critical Care Medicine is the first book to focus specifically on feline-specific emergency and critical care.

With an emphasis on the unique considerations for treating cats, this book provides all the information needed to confidently manage the feline critical patient.
Each chapter includes an algorithm of the general approach to the given condition, with helpful cross-references to the appropriate outline sections where more extensive information can be found, and pathophysiology is discussed only in enough depth to provide the clinician with adequate information to understand the clinical principles of each disease and condition. Given the unique aspects of feline health and the growing interest in the specialty of feline medicine, this book serves as an essential resource for both feline-only and small animal clinicians.

Popis

Cats possess many unique physiological responses to critical illness, and the appropriate treatment requires the ability to accurately diagnose and rapidly respond to the needs of these patients. Feline Emergency and Critical Care Medicine is the first book to focus solely on feline-specific emergency and critical care, providing a wealth of more in-depth information on the unique considerations or treating vats than the coverage afforded by small animal resources.
Designed as a quick-access manual for the medical response to the emergency or critically ill feline patient, information is presented in an easy-to-follow outline format. Pathophysiology is discussed in enough depth to provide adequate information to understand the clinical principles of each disease and condition. Information on emergency drugs, dosages, and indications is also included. This manual proves to be both an exceptional and practical resource for general and emergency veterinary practitioners treating their feline patients.
