Introduction to Diseases, Diagnosis, and Management of Dogs and Cats offers an informative and practical resource for an in-depth understanding of the full range of clinical and infectious diseases that occur in dogs and cats. It provides systematic coverage on the pathogenesis of disease, disease manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, therapeutic management, and prevention.

Organized into three main sections, the book begins with an overall introduction and general discussion on the diagnosis and management of clinical and infectious diseases. This section examines the biological systems of dogs and cats, covers clinical examinations and diagnosis methods, specimen collection, nutritional strategies, and health maintenance. Section 2 goes on to discuss a range of clinical diseases that can affect the health of dogs and cats which includes diseases that impact major systems in the body like the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, reproductive, endocrine, nervous, and urinary systems to name a few. It also delves into autoimmune conditions, behavioral orders, and common toxicological phenomenon that occur in dogs and cats and offers strategies for pain management and therapeutic drug intervention. Section 3 rounds out the book with coverage of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infectious diseases. It explains the pathogenesis of disease, evaluation of the disease, identification of the pathogens and their severity to animals, disease manifestation in the animal, and preventive and treatment strategies to counteract the etiopathogenesis caused by several types of pathogens.

With contributions from experts in the field, Introduction to Diseases, Diagnosis, and Management of Dogs and Cats features the latest advanced veterinary research for researchers, clinicians, and students engaged in researching and treating diseases in dogs and cats.

Discusses clinical diseases of dogs and cats including those that impact major systems in the body, specimen collection, clinical examination, diagnosis, and medical interventions
Covers the etiology and epidemiology, physical examination abnormalities, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, immunity and vaccination, and prevention of infectious diseases
Explores advances in diagnosis and treatment including molecular diagnostic techniques and therapies

"...covers a vast array of topics pertaining to veterinary medicine, [including] anatomy and physiology;… nutritional approaches to disease management, anesthesia, pain management, and drug therapy;… [and] sample collection and diagnostic testing. The majority of the book deals with disease identification and management… to provide in-depth explanations of the disease processes occurring in dogs and cats and their management…. The book is comprehensive in its coverage; it touches on many topics and does so on a basic level…[with] many illustrations, tables, or charts accompanying chapter text.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Gene Pavlovsky, DVM, DABVP (Can/Fel Practice) (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
