Summary

Veterinary technicians/nurses serve a wide variety of functions in the clinical setting. While they are not diagnosticians, they do assist the veterinarian through assessment and laboratory procedures, in arriving at a diagnosis. Perhaps their most important functions are in treatment planning/implementation and client/patient follow-up and compliance. To perform these duties effectively, they need a strong understanding of diseases. This quick-reference tool for veterinary technology and nurse students is a handy guide to the diseases most commonly encountered in dogs and cats. With a convenient body systems approach, it presents disease information in a consistent monograph format, outlining a description of each disease, clinical signs, laboratory work-up, treatment, medications, after care, and prevention.
