style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The stated intent of
Nephrology and Urology of Small Animals is to provide a
comprehensive urology reference for veterinary students,
practitioners, and specialists alike. The 66 contributing authors
have clearly accomplished this goal by writing 85 detailed chapters
that cover anatomy, physiology, clinical signs, diagnostic
procedures, and treatment of disorders of the upper and lower
urinary tract. The contents of the text, which is also available in
an electronic format, will satisfy professionals seeking in-depth
medical advice as well as individuals who desire thorough
descriptions of surgical procedures. With rare exception, the
information appears to be the most currently available. The text is
well illustrated with diagrams and numerous color photographs. Most
chapters contain figures and tables to organize information and
procedures in a user-friendly format, although they are
conspicuously absent in a few chapters. The organization of the 11
sections of the book and the index make finding specific
information a relatively straighforward process.

style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This text is fairly priced
and has several strengths that go beyond the detail of the
information provided and the impressive expertise of the authors.
Readers will find that the section Fluid, Electrolyte, and
Acid-base Disorders contains material that is pertinent to the
management of problems encountered in diseases of multiple organ
systems. The section Counseling Clients provides insight not
usually covered by typical veterinary medicine texts. Although more
limited than the information provided for cats and dogs, the
section Urinary Disorders of Avian and Exotic Companion Animals
provides additional value to the book. Finally, one of the text's
greatest strengths is the universal use of evidence-based
information combined with the experience of the expert authors to
guide readers.--By Joe Bartges & David J. Polzin. 904
