Infos

Cardiac cases represent a large proportion of the small animal patients in most practices. However, patients often initially merely show symptoms of a "chest complaint", which could represent either a cardiac or pulmonary problem. This book provides a practical guide for practitioners faced with such cases. Written in an easily accessible note form the book uses a practical approach considering the symptoms first, and then the possible causes.
