Rezensionen

"Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicine is not a book, it is a tool - and very useful one." (European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, 1 October 2015)

"It will be handy for your clinical rota but I'm certain you will keep it when in practice." (Vet Nurses Today, 1 October 2015)

"The second edition of Differential Diagnosis in Small Animal Medicineis an excellent resource for third- and fourth-year veterinary students on clinical rotations and new graduates who are in need of a compact, pocket-friendly reference with a problem-oriented approach to clinical cases." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 June 2015)

"I would say this book allows for peace of mind that every possible avenue has been explored. When dealing with a returning patient, which requires more in-depth examination, the book may well come into its own. The list-like structure makes referencing simple and clear, and explains the varying diagnosis resulting from a huge range of clinical signs and biological data." (Veterinary Record, 2016)
