A comprehensive guide to the critical care of animals, this volume focuses on the basic science behind critical injury and treatment. Topics include fluid and electrolytes, critical care support, multi-systemic disorders and critical care diseases. Pathophysiologic mechanisms behind critical injury are combined with core clinical content so the user may develop effective clinical judgment and formulate guidelines for patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning. Two hundred original conceptual drawings facilitate understanding, while 82 multiple choice questions test comprehension.
