Book Reviews of Clinical Veterinary Advisor: Dogs and Cats, 1e
Book Review: One of the most useful books I own
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book to help write SOAPs during fourth year of vet school but will treasure it for a long time. When I brought it with me to my outside clinical experience and used it with real cases it not only provided fast and easily accessed insight, it had great and easy to use instructions right in the text. The veterinarians at the clinic bought a copy for themselves before I left. It doesn't go into detail like a medicine book, but it provides a concise source of information that helps you know where to look and helps to remind you what else you should be considering.
For instance, under treatment for ventricular tachycardia it doesn't just say to start a lidocaine CRI, it actually says how much lidocaine to add to what size bag of fluids to make the desired concentration and how fast to give it to achieve the administration rate recommended. This is very helpful at 3am.
The only thing I would change is the differential lists. While some of these lists are provided in the book, most are only available online, which is very inconvenient when you don't always have ready access to a computer that is online.

- Section I: Diseases and Disorders provides at-a-glance coverage of more than 700 common medical problems, arranged alphabetically for immediate access. Each entry presents the topic in the sequence it follows clinically, including: history and physical exam findings, diagnostic testing, treatment (including specific medications and dosages), prognosis, and recommended monitoring. References for each topic support the data presented.
