DESCRIPTION:
Small Animal Surgical Emergencies is a practical reference to soft tissue and orthopedic emergencies commonly encountered in small animal practice.
- Covers common soft tissue and orthopedic emergencies
- Provides step-by-step procedures for stabilizing and operating on the emergent patient
- Promotes problem-solving through algorithms and case studies
- Depicts the concepts described using radiographs, ultrasounds, contrast studies, and photographs
- Includes access to a companion website with video clips, case studies, and images
