Notes on Pathology for Small Animal Clinicians

Description

This book provides the veterinary practitioner and the clinical student with an outline of practical approaches to pathology, with an emphasis on those aspects that are relevant to small animal practice. It is neither a textbook of clinical pathology nor of diagnostic morbid anatomy, yet it provides insight into the contribution that these areas of pathology can make to clinical diagnosis, patient management and the understanding of disease processes.
