The
BSAVA Guide to Procedures in Small Animal Practice provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how toperform the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures commonly performed in small animal veterinary practice. In addition, routine clinical examination of the major body systems, and protocols for the management of selected emergencies, are described.
In addition to the actual technique, each procedure has information on indications and contraindications, equipment required, and potential complications, together with the editors' own hints and tips. Details of BSAVA Manuals where wider information can be found, such as interpretation of results, are given throughout.
This new Guide builds on previous editions with the inclusion of high-quality videos, produced to augment the text and highlight specific steps in procedures that are challenging to explain in words or still images. These accessible and engaging videos capture the details of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as system examinations, adding additional value to this go-to resource.
