The book provides a comprehensive overview of various procedures involved in clinical and laboratory diagnosis of animals, focusing on various examination techniques as well as laboratory methods for the readership. The book is designed to guide veterinary undergraduate and postgraduate students and practitioners through the learning process of diagnosing various diseases in animals. The book covers a wide range of subjects necessary for clinical diagnosis, from initial patient physical and clinical examination to specific laboratory tests.
The book describes animal handling, restraint, and history taking, general and systemic physical examinations, laboratory techniques, and methodologies. The guidebook is intended to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the application of practical skills needed for effective clinical diagnosis.
