REVIEWS

“The authors of this affordable book have deliberately focused their approach on the main symptoms such as diarrhoea, pruritus… and they guide the reader through the maze of clinical exams, secondary tests and intense mulling.  Elementary, my dear Watson.”  (Vet Nurses Today, 1 October 2015)

“This book will be a useful addition to the library of any practitioner.”  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2015)

"Overall, Clinical reasoning is a useful resource for the clinician, especially when faced with challenging diagnostic cases. Its use will help practitioners focus their approach and avoid missing something early on in a case, saving on unhelpful diagnostic tests. As a new graduate, I have found this text useful in clinical practice so far, and am sure it will get even more use with time. While of great use to recent graduates, this book would also assist any clinician who is interested in applying their knowledge in a more thorough and logical manner" (Australian Veterinary Journal, 27 November 2016)
