Small Animal Gastroenterology, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive veterinary reference focusing on the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal diseases in dogs and cats. The book integrates clinical knowledge with practical decision-making and is an excellent companion to advanced resources in veterinary gastroenterology.

Veterinarians and students dealing with complex digestive cases will benefit from the structured diagnostic approach used throughout the book, similar to what is presented in Canine and Feline Gastroenterology.

• Offers a comprehensive overview of the broad field of small animal gastroenterology, including hepatology and pancreatology.
• Provides a comprehensive overview on the latest diagnostic techniques and the clinical evaluation of dogs and cats with specific clinical signs.
• Provides a comprehensive overview of the organ-specific diseases involving individual segments of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver and exocrine pancreas.
• Covers diseases that affect more than one segment of the gastrointestinal tract or even other organs.
• Emphasizes problem-oriented diagnosis and treatment plans, similar to the case-based approach used in Saunders Solutions in Veterinary Practice: Small Animal Gastroenterology , helping clinicians translate theory into real clinical decisions.
• Aligns closely with protocols described in the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Gastroenterology (3rd Edition) , making it ideal for everyday veterinary practice.

Ideal for veterinary students on clinical placements with horses as well as for practitioners needing a quick reference ‘on the ground’, the spiralbound format allows the book to lie open during practice.
